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, systematic puzzle-solving experience that teaches you through guided story elements and hands-on play.

What players say

Players appreciate the novel as a creative addition, but many criticize the AI-generated art and windowed mode as signs of poor development. The game is short and achievements are earned by failing, not solving, which feels counterintuitive. Performance bugs and a need for quality-of-life updates are common complaints, though the sudoku itself is functional.
