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 methodical, cerebral puzzle game where each move must be carefully considered to avoid losing pieces.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of chess piece movement and Sokoban pushing, calling it creative and rewarding. However, many note missing quality-of-life features like undo, save sync, and threatened square indicators, which frustrates when levels get hard.
