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, thoughtful puzzle where you carefully place tiles to shape a living ecosystem, then watch it change in unexpected ways.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, free tile-placing game that resembles a tech demo or a web game, with some comparing it to Loop Hero or a 2048 variant. Opinions split on whether it is a neat idle-friendly time killer or a pointless, aimless experience with little depth.
