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, meditative jigsaw experience where you piece together beautiful Japanese woodblock prints at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the relaxed local multiplayer and find the default settings favor controllers over mouse. The puzzles are on the shorter side, helped by options to auto-fill edges or show the full image faintly in the background. Some wish for more puzzles and actual print names.
