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 physics-focused typing toy that turns each keyboard press into a playful, deliberately awkward puzzle.

What players say

Players call it a fun, cheap typing game with creative level design but note it is very short, finishable in under an hour. Levels can be challenging, and opinion splits on whether the difficulty crosses into frustrating.
