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

Building quirky, physics-driven chocolate-making machines feels oddly satisfying and encourages creative problem-solving at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players call it a spiritual successor to The Incredible Machine with a dash of Lemmings. The forgiving 75% completion quota and par cost system avoid the frustration of perfect builds. The chill soundtrack and responsive devs are praised, while leaderboards and a level editor add replayability.
