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 it as a cozy but surprisingly thinky puzzle game that adapts the board game well, with a single-player campaign that adds structure. The tile placement relies partly on luck, and some find the many overlapping goals confusing. Reviewers split on whether the lack of undo or hints is frustrating or part of the simple charm.
