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 whimsical and creative puzzle game where you build delightfully complex Rube Goldberg machines to solve simple tasks.

What players say
Players enjoy this short puzzle game where they recreate Rube Goldberg's original cartoons, but note it only has 18 levels and can be finished in a couple of hours. The physics engine is occasionally finicky, and the mobile port origins show in the controls. There is exactly one correct solution for each puzzle, though players also find shortcuts.
