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 clever puzzle game that lets you freely experiment and rewind mistakes, turning impossible-looking levels into satisfyingly simple eureka moments.

What players say

A sokoban-style puzzle game with 100 levels that introduce new mechanics every 20 stages. Players say difficulty ranges from easy to downright demonic, but a forgiving rewind feature and the ability to skip levels keep frustration low. Reviews split on length: most finish in 5–15 hours, though some breeze through in under 3.
