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 slow, meticulous game where you carefully nudge crooked objects into alignment, testing both your patience and your fine motor control.

What players say

Players describe this as a deceptively demanding puzzle game that requires intense concentration and symmetrical two-hand control, often comparing it to martial arts training. The main campaign is praised for its satisfying balance of precision and relaxation, while extra modes are widely called too punishing.
