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.

What players say

Players describe Pivross as a basic 3D nonogram puzzle with clunky controls and poor optimization. Many say it feels like a glorified demo since purchasing the full game appears disabled, leaving only tutorial-like levels. Some compare it unfavorably to Voxelgram for offering less content and polish, while a few find the concept fun despite the limitations.
