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 demanding action puzzler that feels like a tense chess match against robots, rewarding clever outmaneuvering and precise timing.

What players say

Players compare it to Boulder Dash and appreciate the puzzle depth across three difficulty paths, but they call the graphics ugly and note there is no sound. The game is very hard, sometimes relying on tight timing, and some players wish for an undo button.
