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 and atmospheric puzzle simulation where you build modular vehicles to explore a desolate sci-fi world.

What players say

Players build robots from wheels, chassis blocks, rockets, and magnets to solve physics puzzles. The base game has 10 levels, but players find replayability in optimizing time or parts, or just making crazy vehicles. Some find the physics clunky, and a few wish for more content.
