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

You relax into a gentle, meditative rhythm of clicking to place colorful pixels on a grid, crafting intricate cross-stitch patterns one stitch at a time.

What players say

Players say it is a relaxing cross-stitch style puzzle game where you match symbols to fill pictures, ideal for listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Several reviewers note that some symbols look too similar and there are no keyboard shortcuts for colors, which slows down play. A few players suspect later artwork is AI-generated and criticize the clunky UI with a non-muting volume slider.
