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 thoughtful, minimalist puzzle game where you carefully shift gravity to push containers through quiet spaceship rooms.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-shifting puzzle twist that merges sokoban with 2D platforming, calling it fresh and satisfying. The difficulty is well-balanced, though some find the lack of undo frustrating, especially when mistakes only become clear after the view switches. The cute art and brief story add charm, but the ending got mixed reactions before an update added a scene.
