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 very low-pressure, straightforward tile-swapping puzzle game that feels calm and simple to play, with little challenge or intensity.

What players say

Players say the puzzles grow tricky fast, especially when rotation and flipping are required, and some levels have blank tiles that force using hints. The art recycles images from earlier series games, and the music loops unpleasantly. A lazy mode auto-solves puzzles for those who only want the pictures.
