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 methodically experiment with magical trigger-and-action blocks to solve physics-puzzles, feeling a satisfying blend of creativity and logic as you finely tune your sword's trajectory to nail each goblin.

What players say

Players praise the creative puzzle solutions and diverse abilities, but note the game is short and lacks variety in enemies and terrain.
