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

You tinker with cubes in a bright, open sandbox, freely building and breaking with no pressure.

What players say

Players say this is a very simple sandbox where you can only place and knock over blocks, and it feels more like a tech demo than a full game. It runs great on weak hardware with no lag even at thousands of cubes, but many wish for more tools, colors, and maps. A few find it a fun short diversion, while others call it too barebones to recommend.
