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 minimalist brain-teaser that asks you to replicate patterns under time pressure, with a clean, quiet interface and escalating difficulty across fixed grid sizes.

What players say

Players describe a short puzzle game where you copy a two-color grid pattern that has been rotated. There is no level progression, just an endless mode with a timer and three grid sizes. Some note the online leaderboard can be buggy when submitting a score.
