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 calm, low-pressure word unscrambling puzzle game that feels like a gentle brain teaser in a clean, distraction-free environment.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing, casual word puzzles that are good for short sessions, though many note the later levels get quite hard. The game reuses many words across its hundreds of levels, which some find tedious. Achievement hunters warn to enable the hidden no-tips mode from the start or miss out on some achievements.
