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

You play as an assassin sneaking through a castle, solving grid-based puzzles with limited moves and daggers.

What players say

Players praise this minimalist grid puzzle game for its relaxing acoustic guitar soundtrack and smart level design. The final levels add challenge with moving knights, though some wish it were harder overall.
