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 contemplative logic puzzle where each level feels like a satisfying mental workout, blending deduction with a calm, minimalist atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the combination of nonograms and minesweeper, but opinions split on execution. Some find puzzles solvable without guessing, while others report forced guessing. Many note the small size, spiky difficulty, and missing features like number graying or a toggle for left-click marking. Long-time players say Polimines 2 improves on everything.
