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 tense and methodical logic puzzle where irregular grids demand careful deduction, offering a calm but challenging experience.

What players say

Players say this is a fresh take on classic Minesweeper, replacing the standard square grid with procedurally generated irregular shapes. This forces you to abandon ingrained patterns and pay closer attention, though some feel larger levels rely too much on luck. A recent update lets you undo one move for a time penalty, which players appreciate for reducing guesswork.
