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 clean and simple puzzle game where you carefully move boxes through challenging levels, striking a balance between relaxed problem-solving and precise execution.

What players say

Players praise the innovative puzzle design but are split on the platforming elements that require near-pixel-perfect timing, which many find tedious. The game is short with around 35-38 levels and players are waiting for more content.
