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 calming and methodical puzzle game where you quietly connect energy cells to light up constellations, with gentle pressure from optional difficulty levels.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing but tricky hexagonal logic puzzle, similar to sudoku or a nonogram, where you place towers to connect generators to lights. The constellation-themed levels are praised, though some find the endgame tower-tweaking tedious. A few report minor bugs with wire placement.
