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 calm, colorful puzzle game where you gently slide rocks to clear a path for a lazy cat.

What players say

Players call it a cozy sliding-block puzzle where you free a cat, short and cheap with 40 levels. The difficulty climbs steadily, and some find the later puzzles tricky enough to need a guide. A few note the blocks and cat can be finicky to slide into place.
