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, minimalist take on Minesweeper with a soothing soundtrack and small quick-play minigames.

What players say

Players say it is a bare-bones minesweeper clone with three mini-games that feels more like an asset flip than a polished product. The UI lacks basics like mine count and win indicators, and sudoku colors are hard to read. The game can be completed in under an hour, making it only appealing for achievement hunting.
