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 lighthearted yet tricky puzzle game where you fling yourself down holes, dodging turrets and using momentum to solve challenges.

What players say

Players enjoy the gameplay but agree the story mode is very short, often finished in under an hour. The level editor and Steam Workshop levels extend the fun, though some find the main puzzles too easy and the burning tile mechanic hard to read.
