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 clean, focused puzzle game that feels calmly addictive as you work through increasingly tricky tile-pattern challenges.

What players say

Players compare it to a digital Lights Out with over 250 levels. The early puzzles are easy, but difficulty spikes sharply when yellow tiles appear around tier 50, and some call the middle tiers frustrating. Players appreciate that the branching level paths let them skip stuck puzzles and come back.
