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 playful and unpredictable blend of minigolf, pinball, and platforming with a self-aware, story-driven charm.

What players say

Players say it is a short physics puzzle game with funny moments and a meta story, but it is harder than the developer's other games. The narrative connects to the broader Appsir series and raises questions about trusting AI.
