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

Navigating a fragile cube through colorful yet treacherous isometric puzzles, where every limited move must be carefully timed to avoid spikes and reunite with friends.

What players say

Players describe Cube Control as a brutally difficult puzzle game with no checkpoints and a tight move budget. The timing-based action is punishing, and most say a mouse is required. Fans of unforgiving games like Getting Over It or Sokoban will find the challenge exhilarating, but others bounce off quickly.
