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 calm and methodical puzzle game where you guide laser beams through minimalist levels to a soothing soundtrack, with no pressure from time or mistakes.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design for being challenging but elegant, with 72 levels that require thinking without being trivial. The game is relaxing and meditative with no points or progress indicators, but the lack of a tutorial and the inability to rotate pieces can be confusing. A few bugs exist, though the developer is responsive. The very purple background is a common minor complaint.
