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

This puzzle game feels like a calm, methodical exercise in logic and patience, where you solve colorful rod-swapping puzzles under a flexible swap limit.

What players say

Players praise the core puzzle concept as interesting but universally criticize the menu and UI as tedious, requiring a manual to navigate. The difficulty is steep, comparing it to solving a Rubik's cube with limited visibility, making it inaccessible for casual players. There is a coop mode and Tilt Five AR support, but the game feels more like a tech demo to some.
