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 soothing city-building puzzle game where you match colored buildings to expand a skyline with minimal complexity.

What players say

Players praise the concept but find the execution rough, with no tutorial, unclear goals, and a pacing that slows to a crawl after a fast start. The game lacks achievements or other feedback beyond the point total, and many call it too barebones, comparing it unfavorably to Mini Metro.
