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, minimalist puzzle game where you methodically fill interconnected aquariums with water, gradually learning new mechanics at a steady pace.

What players say

Players compare Liquidum to picross or nonogram games but say the water and gravity mechanics force new thinking. Reviews praise the smooth tutorial, the daily puzzles and workshop, and call it very addictive. Some note limited hand-crafted levels are offset by a strong generator. A few players complain that the mistake counter affects leaderboard rankings even when error checking is turned off.
