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

You draw and wire logic circuits from scratch, setting your own goals in a quiet, open-ended sandbox that demands prior technical knowledge.

What players say

Players praise the fast simulation and depth for those already familiar with digital logic, but consistently say the lack of tutorials or guided challenges makes it inaccessible to beginners. The game is a pure sandbox with no campaign.
