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 and progressively harder puzzle game where you guide a caveman through snake-infested levels by stepping on each tile once.

What players say

Players describe a short retro puzzle game where you fill rooms with snakes by stepping on each tile only once. They consistently note the 20-30 minute runtime and compare it to Q-bert or puzzles from Zelda Oracle games. Reviews are split on the time trial achievement, with some finding it tedious and others enjoying the speedrun challenge.
