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.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a great introduction to coding logic and debugging, others find later levels devolve into guesswork because the game provides no hints and the fictional language ignores real naming conventions. The puzzles start simple but grow demanding, and a few warn the need to supply your own input makes brute-forcing possible.
