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 playful and accessible puzzle game that gently teaches programming logic through increasingly clever challenges.

What players say

Players appreciate the visuals and the developer's effort, but the game is widely criticized for a buggy interface, poor English translation, and performance issues. Most agree the puzzles are good in concept, but the execution is frustrating enough that many cannot recommend it.
