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 soothing, thoughtful puzzle game where logic quietly blooms into melody, offering a peaceful retreat with a philosophical cat companion.

What players say

Players enjoy a puzzle game that doubles as a music creation tool, with loop-based puzzles that produce sounds. They note about 60 levels that get harder, and split on whether the game feels abandoned since the last update in August 2025. The atmosphere is described as wholesome and cozy, with cat petting as a bonus.
