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 minimalist logic arcade game where typing words physically shapes the world and destroys viruses, creating a calm but focused puzzle experience.

What players say

Players describe a strange mix of twin-stick shooting and typing, where you must type commands like FIRE and SHIELD while moving with the mouse. The coordination demand is high and reviewers are split on whether the novelty works or becomes frustrating, with some noting the game is short enough to finish before mastering the controls.
