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 tile-matching puzzle where each move shifts an entire row or column, encouraging careful planning.

What players say

Players are split on this puzzle game: some enjoy the sliding-tile logic, but most criticize it as a lazy mobile port with no PC options, a portrait-only window, and a heart system that forces waiting 20 minutes for refills. The single looping soundtrack also draws complaints.
