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 methodical and rewarding puzzle game where each handcrafted challenge demands careful thought and skill, with difficulty levels that push you to improve.

What players say

Players say the game is very short, with 10 puzzles per run out of 24 total. Some levels are unbeatable due to bugs, particularly the green level on all difficulties and a 4-button room on hard. Players are split: a few appreciate the idea, but most are frustrated by the broken puzzles and quick completion.
