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 turn-based strategy puzzle game where you methodically fight giant insect pests to protect pixel-art underground gardens.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, relaxing Sokoban-style puzzle game with charming pixel art and music. It introduces new mechanics frequently across its 60 levels, avoiding repetition. Some mention the sliding movement can lead to accidental deaths, and the game originally had a non-skippable opening video.
