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 methodical puzzle game where you write simplified Python-like code to control a robot, sending messages to devices while solving logic challenges.

What players say

Players say this is a puzzle game that asks you to read and tweak existing code, not write your own. It is widely considered too hard for people who don't already know programming basics, and the lack of debugging tools or clear error messages frustrates even experienced players. Several also report technical issues with non-US keyboards and performance.
