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, rhythmic tile-matching puzzle that soothes the mind with calm water-themed visuals and adjustable difficulty.

What players say

Players appreciate the huge amount of content and faithful port of classic Shanghai, but many find the UI clunky with leftover console elements, no option to shuffle or retry without restarting, and timers that force pressure instead of relaxation.
