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 straightforward tile-matching puzzler that feels calm and methodical as you carefully plan tile pairings against a steady ticking clock.

About

The Shisenshou is a puzzle game similar to the Shanghai series since the player have to find 2 pieces of the same shape & colour that are alone to join them and make them dissappear, the player have to follow an order since he can make 2 pieces dissappear if they are surrounded by other different pieces, except when the 2 equal pieces are one next to the other. To advance to the next stage the player has to clear of the pieces in each stage before the time ends.
