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.

A gentle, low-stakes word game that feels like a calm multilingual quiz, challenging you just enough to stay engaged without becoming stressful.

What players say

Players describe it as a word puzzle where you connect letters in a grid to spell English translations of words given in six languages. The 300 levels take about 7 hours, and all achievements are tied to completing them, so none are missable. Some note American English spelling can trip you up, and a few say translations in German or Italian feel off at times.
