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 fiendishly addictive brain-teaser with cute visuals and a focus on logic and precision movement.

What players say

Players call it a worthy successor to Chip's Challenge with quality-of-life upgrades and a level creator, but warn about always-online DRM, progress being erased after the 2020 update, and unresponsive developers. Movement feels laggy and the medal system can be punishing.
