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

You push chess pieces like a pig in a story-rich, hand-drawn puzzle world that blends gentle strategy with whimsical exploration.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of Sokoban and chess-inspired puzzles, calling it a solid, cute short game at about 2-5 hours. However, many are split on the later levels that introduce strict timing and real-time elements, with some calling the 5-5 level a frustrating difficulty spike that clashes with the otherwise methodical puzzle design.
