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 slow, meditative puzzle game where guiding raindrops through colorful mazes with soothing orchestral music creates a calm and absorbing experience.

What players say

Players say Quell Zen is the biggest and hardest entry in the series, with over 200 levels and frequent multi-drop puzzles that raise the difficulty well above earlier games. The Japanese theme is appreciated but the music doesn't match it. Some find the extra complexity less enjoyable than Quell Memento, while others praise the balance of challenge and calm.
