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 janky collection of physics puzzles that parody familiar games with a surreal, darkly comic twist.

What players say

Players are divided on CubeHub, with strong complaints about input lag and rubber-banding making the game unplayable for some, alongside missing basic features like a zoom-out and menu button. A few praise the physics and gameplay idea, comparing it to Tetris, but significant bugs and performance issues on Windows 11 are widely reported.
