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 deceptively simple puzzle game where moving colored cubes in unison creates escalating mental challenges.

What players say

Players praise Cubot as a clean, minimalist puzzle game where all cubes move at once, forcing precise sequences rather than free experimentation. The difficulty spikes hard, especially the final level, and some players found the white background painful on the eyes. A few missed the undo button early on, calling it well-hidden.
