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 calm, minimalist puzzle game where you solve grid-based challenges with soothing sound effects, using only a mouse.

What players say

Players praise the cozy puzzle design and satisfying bus-and-train route planning, but many are frustrated by the forced keyboard controls, unrebindable keys, and a bug where higher game speed causes vehicles to clip through barriers, forcing restarts. The 35-level campaign is short, some suspect reused assets from other games.
