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 say this is less a game and more an interactive physics exam that demands solid high-school physics knowledge, trigonometry, and patience for trial-and-error puzzle solving. Those without a physics background find it confusing but can find the learning rewarding, while some feel the built-in calculator has precision issues.
