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 brain-teasing puzzler that makes you rethink every angle as you rotate the view to make impossible connections click into place with controlled explosions.

What players say

Players describe a short physics-based puzzle game where you shift perspective to solve levels, but many say the physics feel inconsistent, rewarding trial and error over logic.
