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

You move a character on a tiny 3x3 grid, dying and restarting while slowly piecing together both mechanics and a poem-like story.

What players say

Players praise the clever puzzles and stylish presentation within a tiny 3x3 grid, but the game is short, lasting about an hour, and splits opinion on its roguelike mode, which recycles the same puzzles with little reward beyond badges. Some find the limited moves easy and repetitive, while others appreciate that the main campaign does not overstay its welcome.
