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 calm, methodical factory puzzle game about arranging production lines to transform simple shapes into complex structures.

What players say

Players describe a minimalistic factory puzzle game that is fun in short bursts but feels unfinished. Many report finnicky controls, bugs, a slow pace in later stages, and broken controller support despite the game advertising Steam Deck play. A few note the simple systems work well for the low price.
