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 simple, relaxing black-and-white puzzle game where you match tiles and discover hidden elements

What players say

Players describe a simple, black-and-white match-3 with no save, no music, and no menus. The twist is that diagonal swaps are allowed and white tiles can be cleared, which trips people up at first. It takes about half an hour to finish, but long sessions tire the eyes. Some find it relaxing, others say it is not worth the time or money.
