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 hands-on sandbox where drifting orbs react to gravity and collisions, rewarding quiet experimentation and emergent chain reactions.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based automation and element mixing as fresh and addictive, often comparing it to shapez. However, they consistently note the grind for resources feels tedious and the build area too small. Longtime players appreciate the developer's responsiveness to feedback in early access, but also flag performance jank and a single music track.
