The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A calm yet mentally engaging puzzle game focused on careful planning and step-by-step box-pushing challenges.

What players say

Players see this as a Sokoban-style puzzler with 72 levels across three chapters, and one more chapter planned. Many note it is free and in early access, but bugs like boxes glitching through walls and progress not saving frustrate. The game does not run on Steam Deck at all.
