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 methodical, atmospheric puzzle game where you slide rooms and manipulate gadgets in a spooky yet whimsical mansion, feeling clever and unsettled as you explore.

What players say

Players describe Rooms as a challenging puzzle game where you slide rooms around like a sliding block puzzle. The game offers many well-designed levels that gradually introduce new mechanics, though some players find it quite difficult and need guides. A few report bugs that deleted progress, and the French translation is poor.
