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, grid-based puzzle game where you carefully place colorful voxel buildings to complete serene Japanese landscapes.

What players say

Players compare the puzzle logic to Skyscrapers with a Japanese voxel ambience, but some puzzles have more than one solution and achievements do not track. Opinions split on the price, with several calling it expensive for an indie title.
