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 solve math equations by moving matches, with levels drawn randomly each playthrough. Difficulty climbs steadily, introducing burning matches and timed challenges. Some found early backgrounds hard on the eyes, but a patch added more comfortable options. Opinions split on whether the puzzles are clever or just average, and playtime runs a couple of hours.
