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 methodical, brain-teasing puzzle game where you slide blocks across a minimalist board to clear a path, demanding calm, careful strategy rather than speed or reflexes.

What players say

Players describe a single-mechanic block-sliding puzzle with hundreds of levels. Some call it an asset flip, while others enjoy the challenge of beating levels in a target number of moves. Many recommend muting the repetitive music.
