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.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing yet challenging puzzle game in the vein of Mini Metro and Mini Motorways, where you route cables through procedurally generated offices. Some note the daily leaderboard has bugs that can overwrite higher scores.
