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 charming but brutally difficult puzzle game where cute snake-birds stretch and contort to solve physics-defying puzzles.

What players say

Players call it a brutally hard puzzle game that rewards patience with satisfying aha moments, though the difficulty spikes sharply with little guidance. The game is short, taking around 4 to 15 hours. Some find the music repetitive, but the clever snake-gravity physics and minimalist design win over most die-hard puzzle fans.
