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 calm but mentally engaging puzzle game where you help anthropomorphic numbers through gentle challenges.

What players say

Players say this is a clever math-based puzzle game where you split and combine number tiles. The campaign offers 80 levels that get challenging, but there is no undo button and hints are limited, which can leave you stuck. The small community means the workshop is not heavily used.
