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 quiet, meditative puzzle game where you take levels apart with no pressure, just calm exploration and ambient sound.

What players say

Players agree NABOKI is a short, meditative puzzle game they finish in about an hour. They praise the minimalist presentation and how new mechanics keep things fresh, though some find many levels are simply hide-and-seek challenges and not real brain teasers.
