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 gentle, low-stakes puzzle game where you draw non-intersecting tracks to connect matching colored gems, accompanied by cute kitten helpers.

What players say

Players say the puzzle game is short and easy, taking about two to three hours to complete, but the constant screen shaking from explosions cannot be turned off and makes it unplayable for some. Others call it an asset flip from a Unity store kit.
