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 calm and meditative experience of assembling beautiful Japanese woodblock-print puzzles at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful Ohara Koson art and relaxing music, but note each of the seven pictures must be completed in three sizes, making repetition a drawback. Criticism focuses on the inability to save mid-puzzle and the lack of an option to turn off the reference image.
