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 relaxing yet thoughtful puzzle game where you fit random polyominoes together at a steady pace.

What players say

Players are split: some find the chaotic random blocks and lack of progression pointless, while others enjoy the strategic depth and the ability to tweak the block count. Fullscreen is buggy and keybinds cannot be changed, but the game can feel addictive.
