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 clean, methodical puzzle game about logically dividing grids with squares, offering quiet satisfaction once you stop guessing and start reasoning.

About
"Shikaku" is one of Nikoli's own original casse-tête, with simple rules and a unique feeling of solution. Until you get used to it, you'll tend to solve the casse-tête with guesswork, but the real charm lies in solving them with logic. Once you master the method of solving the casse-tête by gradually stretching squares from the numbers, you'll be able to enjoy "Shikaku" on an even deeper level.
