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 number puzzle that feels like calmly yet intensely rewiring a failing spaceship's power grid.

What players say
Players call it a math puzzle game that is easy to learn but hard to master, relying on RNG that can force restarts. Some find the unskippable cutscenes frustrating, and opinions split on whether it feels casual or not.
