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 focused, methodical puzzle game where you physically manipulate the environment to solve spatial challenges.

What players say

A puzzle-platformer that players call creatively designed but punishing. It demands precise jumps and often forces retries even after solving a puzzle, which some find tedious. The game has no story or charm, splitting players between those who love the challenge and those who find it a chore.
