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 praise the puzzles for teaching real electronics concepts like logic gates and binary, but warn the game is tough and lacks tutorials. Many note technical annoyances like mouse sensitivity drops and falling through floors. There is very little outside help available.
