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, turn-based word puzzle with cute grim reaper characters, where spelling feels like a light tactical battle.

What players say

Players frequently compare it to Bookworm Adventures, calling it a solid alternative for word game fans. There's no time limit, and the RPG-style equipment upgrades add depth. Many note the remastered version exists, making the original redundant unless chasing separate achievements. Some find the gameplay repetitive, and the campaign runs about 30 hours.
