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.

A methodical, brain-teasing puzzle game that rewards careful planning and spatial reasoning.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple Sokoban-style puzzle game about sliding atoms to build molecules, with no time limit. Some find it a relaxing educational tool that teaches chemistry facts, while others call it a clone of the old DOS game Atomix and say puzzles are too easy early on, getting repetitive. A few note technical issues like low resolution and no settings menu.
