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 methodical word game where careful planning and resource management create a cerebral, rewarding loop of building combos and breaking conventional spelling rules.

What players say

Players compare the game to Balatro and Scrabble, but find it less satisfying. Many say it is punishing and poorly balanced, with high score requirements that outpace the tools provided. Some appreciate the concept but feel the build interactions lack impact.
