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, methodical puzzle experience that feels like stitching together a massive historical tapestry while listening to a podcast.

What players say

Players call it a minesweeper-like puzzle that is relaxing and meditative, but many find it too easy and mindless after the rules click. The massive single puzzle divided into sections gives steady progress, though some say it overstays its welcome at 30 hours for completion.
