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

You carefully sneak a rat through hand-crafted puzzle rooms, using mirrors and boxes to avoid a cat's watchful gaze while a custom soundtrack keeps you immersed.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, light-based sokoban game with around 50 puzzles that take about two hours to finish. The difficulty is moderate, though a few later levels feel tedious and lead to random trial-and-error. Some note the lack of an animation undo, and players appreciate the colorblind mode.
