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 calm, methodical puzzle game where you build logic step by step, feeling like a pure mathematician solving elegant problems

What players say
Players love the lambda calculus concept but are nearly unanimous that the tutorial is incomprehensible and the UI needs polish. Long-time programming-puzzle fans enjoy rebuilding Church numerals and the Y-combinator, while everyone else bounces off the obtuse explanations.
