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 programming puzzle game that feels like solving tight logic challenges with a single rule, pushing you to optimize in a focused, constrained space.

What players say

Players describe it as an esolang puzzle game that feels different from regular programming. The problems are challenging but not overly tedious. Some note it humbles them, and a Korean player asks when a translation will be released.
