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 calm, meditative puzzle experience that gradually escalates into a gentle mental workout, set to rhythmic music with beautiful sand-like visuals.

What players say

Players describe Sandmade as a short, relaxing puzzle game that challenges spatial visualization. The game takes about an hour to finish and has 100 levels, but some find the difficulty spike in later stages and the repetitive soundtrack off-putting.
