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 methodical puzzle game where you build conveyor-belt pipelines to perform mathematical operations on the number 1. As you design and refine automatic systems, the experience is calm and thought-provoking, encouraging creativity through logic and incremental optimization.

What players say

Players compare it to Shapez and Word Factori, praising the freedom to pull materials from anywhere and the mathematical puzzles. However, many report broken achievements, copy-paste frustration, and UI polish issues. Performance drops sharply in late game, and longer play reveals a lack of challenge without speed controls.
