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 calm, open-ended building sandbox where you tinker with pieces at your own pace, learning through guided or freeform experimentation.

What players say

Players enjoy experimenting with parts but quickly run out of things to do, with a small build area and a limited selection of parts. The UI feels restrictive, and the game lacks Chinese language support and achievements.
