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 short, calming yet mentally demanding puzzle game where you carefully rotate pieces within limited moves to assemble geometric shapes against a relaxing soundtrack.

What players say

Players finish this puzzle game in 15 minutes to an hour, and many want an undo button instead of having to restart levels. The mouse controls can be counterintuitive, with left and right click swapped. A new mechanic appears only in the final levels, leaving players wanting more.
