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 click and combine simple elements to watch new ones appear, feeling a quiet sense of curiosity and experimentation.

What players say

Players compare it to Opus Magnum but note it has far fewer tools and only one correct solution per puzzle, making it more restrictive. Some report broken levels and bugs, while others find it a decent value for the low price. After the 30 levels, there is nothing left to do.
