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 contemplative sandbox where you explore physics and cosmic scale at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a collection of mini-games rather than a unified experience, with some calling the physics terrible and others solid. Performance issues appear on high-end PCs, and several reviewers note that content is thin despite the low price. A Russian speaker says there is future potential.
