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.

A methodical puzzle game where you strategize your way through deadly environments, pushing boulders and avoiding hazards.

What players say

Players praise the blend of Boulder Dash-style puzzle logic with a Lovecraftian atmosphere, though opinion splits on the puzzle quality: some find them thoughtful and varied, while others call about half of them boring filler or easy to break. The music, graphics, and approachable difficulty are consistently liked, and the ability to skip frustrating levels is appreciated.
