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 methodical and challenging puzzle game where you systematically combine blocks through machines to solve increasingly complex automation problems.

What players say

Players love the challenging yet rewarding puzzles that make them feel smart when solved. The automation mechanics are simple but layered, requiring careful planning and optimization. Many note the game is tough but fair, with a cozy pixel art style and a great soundtrack. It runs well on Steam Deck, and the included level editor is a welcome feature.
