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, strategic puzzle game with a quirky, abstract feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the twist of turning into captured pieces, calling it a fresh take on chess puzzles. The difficulty feels fair but has occasional spikes, and the level editor adds replay value. A notable complaint is the finicky mouse cursor and a single undo per puzzle.
