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.

What players say

Players compare it to Boulder Dash with a mobile port feel, but many find it fun. The core loop is simple: you dig diagonally down left or right until the battery runs out. Some call it a grind to unlock checkpoints and characters, while others enjoy chasing high scores. Reviews split on whether the mobile-style design is a flaw or part of the charm.
