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 agree the core mechanic of rotating the world to move a ball is novel and fun, but opinions split hard on value: many call it a 20-minute prototype priced too high, while a few find it worth a short chill session. Critics cite cryptic menus, broken achievements, and asset-flip accusations, though defenders praise the simple concept.
