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

Grab Lab feels like a frantic, physics-bending puzzle arcade game where you scramble to collect objects while everything goes haywire.

What players say

Players call it a simple one-button puzzle game where your character auto-walks and you only control a grapple. The 105 levels take about 2.5 hours, with most early stages feeling too easy and challenge spiking hard around level 68. Players disagree on controls: some say they feel tight, others report missed inputs and no buffering.
