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 minimalist tile-juggling game that feels meditative and cooperative, with a calm pace that can shift to more active coordination.

What players say

Players describe a puzzle game that looks simple but quickly becomes chaotic and demanding, especially in four-player co-op. The single-player mode is also tough but forgiving, and local multiplayer adds unpredictability as players send unwanted blocks to each other. Some note controversial AI art in the trailer.
