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.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design that requires moving all robots simultaneously, comparing it favorably to Snakebird and Baba Is You. Many enjoy chasing the developer's high score per level, and the difficulty ramps up steadily without becoming extreme. Opinions differ on whether it offers anything new in the genre, with a minority finding it generic.
