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 calm, contemplative puzzle game where you rotate the world to guide a ball, accompanied by lo-fi visuals and ambient music.

What players say

Players call it a fun but short physics puzzle where you rotate the screen to guide a ball to the goal. They split on the design: some enjoy the challenge as rotation resources deplete per level, while others find levels unfair and the physics frustrating. A few note bugs and the lack of an exit button.
