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

Sokobond feels like calmly assembling delicate molecular puzzles in a quiet, beautiful space with a gentle soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the unique chemistry-themed bonding mechanic, but note extreme difficulty spikes where some puzzles take hours while others are trivial. Many find the lack of hints and frequent mirror puzzles frustrating.
