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 peaceful, sunny-day puzzle game where you plan slow, deliberate strokes around a swimming pool or sea, accompanied by gentle ambient sounds.

What players say

Players describe it as a thoughtful turn-based puzzle game similar to the Hitman GO series, where you must plan a path to exit a pool without touching any swimmers. Some find it relaxing, while others say it becomes too difficult around chapter 4 and complain about sluggish controls and the lack of an undo button.
