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 minimal and cerebral puzzle game where you methodically clear a board using rock-paper-scissors-style hierarchy and chess-like movement rules.

What players say

Players describe a short, minimalist puzzle game that mixes rock-paper-scissors with chess-like movement. It has 30 levels, takes about 1-2 hours, and costs around a dollar. Opinions on difficulty vary: some find it a light brain teaser, others say one wrong move forces a restart and a guide helped them through.
