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 puzzle game where each move costs energy, requiring careful planning to navigate hazards and recharge points.

What players say

Players describe a Sokoban-like puzzle game where each move costs energy and you must reach recharge stations to avoid failing. There is no undo, which makes wrong moves costly, and ice and arrow tiles force sliding. Most praise the difficulty curve, but some find the trial-and-error frustrating and wish for basic quality-of-life features.
