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 calmly design and test bridges, balancing physics constraints and watching your creations either hold or collapse under stress.

What players say

Players enjoy the core bridge-building idea but split on execution: some call it a fun cheap distraction, while others report physics glitches where vehicles clip through debris and a difficulty spike in later levels that feels punishing rather than rewarding.
