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, brain-teasing word game where you build letter combos with light strategic upgrades between rounds.

What players say

Players describe a cozy word-building game with a roguelike structure and a 1990s shareware soundtrack. It works well on the Steam Deck, takes about 15 rounds to beat, and players name one overpowered shop item: Plume Serpent. Some enjoy the bomb that reintroduces vowels.
