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 relaxed, turn-based puzzle game where you carefully plan routes on a colorful board, trying to maximize your score without leaving open connections.

What players say

Players praise the faithful digital adaptation of the roll-and-write board game, calling it relaxing and easy to learn but hard to master. However, many warn that the servers have been down since late 2022, breaking daily challenges and leaderboards, and that the expansions each include only one of two content sets from the physical editions.
