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 quick-witted, cartoonish sandbox where you fling from one shape to another, laughing at the absurd solutions you invent to reach the exit.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple but clever puzzle game that stays fresh with new mechanics in each level. It takes about three to four hours to finish, and while some puzzles can be frustrating, the trial-and-error payoff is rewarding.
