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

purposefully paced tactical puzzle where each brief level asks for careful positioning and sequencing before it clicks

What players say

Players describe it as a satisfying puzzle-strategy hybrid with clever level design that demands creative solutions. Opinion is split: some find turn limits restrictive and the 1280x960 max resolution a flaw, while others praise the challenge and replayability for five-star scores. The tutorials are widely considered overlong and cannot be skipped.
