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 calm, straightforward puzzle game where the player navigates mazes with simple controls and pleasant background music.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple maze game that can be relaxing, but many complain the player square gets stuck on wall edges and invisible walls because of square collision instead of a circle. The game has 40 levels, each granting an achievement, and takes about an hour to finish, though levels grow repetitive and the window cannot be resized nor closed with Esc.
