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, methodical puzzle adventure through colorful isometric temple ruins, where you push blocks and explore at a calm, contemplative pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a puzzle-platformer mixing Sokoban with light exploration, where you push, pull, punch, and throw objects. The isometric view and controls can be clunky, making movement tricky at times, but the hand-drawn art and lack of combat appeal to some. Puzzles are challenging and thoughtful, though the story is thin and the game is short, roughly 5–14 hours.
