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 thoughtful puzzle game where you carefully navigate a king across crumbling tiles, using memory and strategic sacrifices to avoid hidden traps.

What players say

Players find the early levels easy but say later stages become tedious due to trial-and-error gameplay and pattern memorization. Some complain the black floor tiles resemble trap holes, making them hard to see, while others note the controls feel like a mobile port and the resolution cannot be changed.
