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 but expanded take on the classic logic puzzle, offering both classic and fresh grid styles with a gradual difficulty curve.

What players say

Players praise the added hex and 3D modes but are split on the core experience: some enjoy it as simple Minesweeper, while others are frustrated by board generation that forces guessing, a problem they say was solved years ago. Complaints also target absent chording support and a clunky UI.
