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 puzzle game where you set up mechanical contraptions to create perpetual motion, guided by an enigmatic voice through a tower setting.

What players say

Players call it a short, charming puzzle game ported from mobile, with a good difficulty curve that only gets tricky in the final ex levels. Some report that controller support is broken and the early stages are too simple.
