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 that gently ramps from trivial to brain-bending, letting you repeatedly explore non-repeating layouts at your own pace.

What players say

Players say Pentomino is a pure geometry puzzle with regenerating levels, but the difficulty comes from trial and error rather than logic. Some find it repetitive with only rectangular shapes, and suggest better visuals or mouse-only controls. Reviewers split on whether its minimalism is charming or too bare.
