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 gentle and visually charming puzzle game where you untangle multicolored snake-like creatures to help them eat fruit, with a calm and satisfying feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming puzzle game where you move colored snakes to cover matching fruit. The difficulty starts easy but ramps up significantly, and some later levels require careful planning. A common complaint is the lack of an undo button, especially in later worlds with irreversible mechanics.
