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 describe Puzzle Garden as a short, free student project with 8 levels of math-logic puzzles dressed as a farming sim. Most finish in under an hour and call it fun but too brief, with several asking for more levels or a sandbox mode. A few criticize the lack of settings, mouse wheel support, and the 2D-only presentation for a modern release.
