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, strategic puzzle game designed to be played discreetly without drawing attention, using logical deduction to uncover tiles in a calm, minimalist presentation.

What players say

A free minesweeper variant where you avoid bombs and collect treasures, but players say it is very similar to classic minesweeper. The no-guess design is appreciated, though some find the coloured tiles unhelpful and note bugs with switching game modes. Mac users report a missing workaround for flagging with a one-button mouse.
