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.

A slow, contemplative puzzle game where you carefully navigate rooms using colored squares while avoiding forbidden red boxes.

What players say

Players call Qvabllock a very short puzzle game, often finishing the 30 levels in under 30 minutes. The core loop involves moving a square to collect color-coded keys and reach a goal, and reviewers find it simple or even boring, though some enjoy its relaxing vibe.
