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 calm, methodical puzzle game where you experiment with simple block mechanics, easily rewinding mistakes at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the block-pushing puzzles are clever and get genuinely hard, especially if going for all stars. The game offers 60 levels plus an arcade mode, and its rewind function keeps frustration low, though some find the full price a bit steep and prefer to buy on sale.
