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

You solve physics puzzles and perform parkour as a robot in a space station, freeing other robots along the way.

What players say

Players praise the physics puzzles, destructible objects and charming robot, but widely describe the game as unfinished with only six levels. The developer stated they will not continue development due to low sales, so the short content is permanent.
