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 playful, hands-on science sandbox where you set up goofy experiments, solve logic puzzles, and watch things blow up with a lighthearted MythBusters spirit.

What players say

Fans of the show find the game restrictive and cluttered with tedious tutorials, feeling more like a checklist than a true simulation. Players frequently mention frustrating controls, glitchy interfaces, and that the game does not allow creative experimentation.
