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 fast-paced puzzle game focused on building large combos through strategic color matching.

What players say

Players praise the gem-matching combat and Persona-like art and music, but split on the timer, difficulty, and depth. The core loop is a unique two-deck system with a satisfying combo feel, yet many find content limited, the extra mode too hard, or the build variety shallow.
