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 familiar logic puzzle reimagined in a three-dimensional space, demanding spatial orientation and careful planning.

What players say

Players say it is a worthwhile 3D take on Minesweeper with clever new ideas, but the camera controls are frustrating and lack panning. Many also note that the procedurally generated levels force you to guess, made worse because there is no instant retry. A few complain about an unnecessary always-online requirement.
