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 reflective and gently puzzling experience where you drop blocks across mirrored dimensions, feeling calm and contemplative.

What players say

Players describe Samsara as a clever puzzle game that starts simple but introduces new mechanics steadily, leading to challenging later levels without feeling frustrating. The cute art and relaxing audio create a meditative mood, though some wish there were fewer trivial early puzzles and more consistent music.
