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 gentle, repetitive climb where you guide a small slime upward to become the sun, with light puzzle elements and a calm, cyclical feel.

What players say

Players finish this short, free puzzle game in about 30 minutes. It is like Snake: you draw a path without crossing yourself. Many complain there is no save, so you must finish in one sitting. Some note it looks and feels like a student project.
