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

You explore a fictional 8-bit microcomputer, learning to code and create simple programs in a nostalgic, hands-on sandbox.

What players say

Players call this a cozy programming sandbox that teaches core coding concepts through a sprite-focused scripting language. The in-game manual and challenge mode are well regarded, but some report display scaling problems on modern screens and wish there was a larger community to share projects.
