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 bright, puzzle-filled platformer where you flip tiles and dodge hazards as a tiny sugar cube trying to escape becoming a cookie.

What players say

Players praise the charming premise and tile-flipping puzzles but find the game very short, often finishing in one to three hours. Many say difficulty is uneven, with too many easy levels and some relying on trial and error. Some report the game crashes on modern systems.
