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 serene yet mentally taxing puzzle experience where each abstract, grid-based world gently demands careful thought and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design for introducing new mechanics every few levels, keeping the classic box-pushing formula fresh, though the difficulty rises sharply by the end. The game is around 4 hours long, but reviews are split on the controls: some find them fiddly, especially with a controller, and the reset and undo functions behave unreliably, causing progress loss and frustration.
