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 minimalist puzzle game that gently challenges your spatial reasoning with calm, abstract shapes.

What players say

Players like the concept but split on a luck factor for high scores, and some report the game is unplayable on Windows 11 with no developer response.
