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 relaxing 3D jigsaw puzzle simulation that lets you piece together images in a virtual space, mimicking the tactile feel of a physical puzzle without the mess or time commitment.

What players say

Players praise the realistic 3D feel and tools for sorting pieces, saying it is the best jigsaw puzzle game for serious puzzlers. The beautiful classical art and large piece counts are a draw, but many find the puzzles time consuming and note the need to buy DLC for interesting images. Some report bugs and clunky performance, though others say the developer is responsive.
