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.

What players say

Players describe a clever sokoban-style puzzle game where a stretchy cactus pushes smaller cacti by growing against walls. The game has about 100 levels and players consistently warn that the difficulty ramps up sharply, with some finding it frustratingly hard while others praise the fair learning curve.
