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

It plays like a cheerful but tricky retro puzzle game where you carefully move one step at a time, laughing at the light absurdity while solving logical problems.

What players say

Players praise the clever twist of incremental damage tied to limited movement in sokoban-style puzzles. They consistently say the difficulty climbs sharply but stays fair, with a rewarding sense of accomplishment after each tricky solution. The story and music are widely appreciated, and the optional shop is noted as a welcome convenience.
