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

Exploring alien signals feels like a calm, thoughtful puzzle where each hex tile brings quiet discovery.

What players say

Players call Signals a relaxing, low-stakes resource management game with a chill soundtrack that makes it easy to lose track of time. The campaign is short at 2–4 hours, and the lack of a proper tutorial is a common complaint, though the controls and navigation are intuitive once figured out.
