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

You methodically deduce the correct lines by slowly working through number clues, building a closed loop with quiet, satisfying logic.

What players say

Players praise the massive content and low price but split on usability: some call it a perfect minimal implementation of the Slitherlink logic puzzle, while others complain that there is no tutorial, no auto-crossing, and that early puzzles have alternate solutions. Long-time players warn the later grids get brutally hard.
