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 lighthearted but tense puzzle game where you carefully guide aircraft to their destinations, with instant failure on any collision.

What players say

Players say it is a simplified air-traffic-control puzzle that starts gentle but throws nasty surprises in later levels. The brief arrival warning and awkward keyboard controls frustrate many, though a controller helps. Fans of TechnoBrain's ATC4 call it a decent entry point or spin-off, while others find it too rigid and obtuse.
