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 lighthearted and supportive coding puzzle game that feels like a gentle, cartoon clinic tour where you learn by fixing friendly malfunctioning robots.

What players say

Players see Robospital as a decent intro to Python basics but disagree on its teaching approach. Some praise the gradual puzzles and helpful cheat book, while others say concepts are poorly explained and lessons become inaccessible after finishing. A few note bugs in the editor and slow code checking. Experienced coders find it too easy, and several reviewers wish the story had less dialogue.
