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 peaceful and open-ended building playground where you can freely create structures alone or with others.

What players say

Players who enjoyed the building sandbox say it was abandoned, with no updates or developer contact for over a year. Many cite frustrating controls, limited assets, and poor performance as dealbreakers, while a few still find it fun for creative building in its early state.
