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 familiar minesweeper experience with optional time pressure and leaderboard competition, offering both relaxed puzzling and tense arcade races.

What players say

Players say the arcade mode forces too many guesses, especially on level 15, making it feel luck-based. Classic and casual modes are standard, but missing keybinds and plausibility checks frustrate some.
