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, methodical puzzle game where you slide chess pieces into place with unlimited do-overs, combining the logic of chess with the calm satisfaction of Sokoban.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design and the way chess piece movement is woven into sokoban-style pushing. They appreciate unlimited undos and the ability to skip stuck levels. A minority finds difficulty uneven and few new patterns after introducing each gimmick.
