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 tense, minimalist desk job simulator where you frantically decipher cryptic flight systems under pressure, failing often before a brief, satisfying success.

What players say

Players describe a very short, challenging puzzle where you guide a panicked pilot to land. The simple controls mask a steep learning curve, and landing the plane feels satisfying. Some wish for more randomized levels, and early performance problems were later patched.
