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
Completing procedurally generated puzzles while watching short philosophical Zen Buddhist stories feels calm and contemplative, with a gentle, atmospheric pace.

What players say
Players praise it as a relaxing jigsaw puzzle that pairs each finished puzzle with a short animated story drawn from Zen koans. Opinions split on the controls: most find piece movement fine, but a few call them awkward or phone-like. One reviewer warns the reset button was dangerously easy to fat-finger, though the developer later added a confirmation screen.
