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 relentless, minimalist arcade game where you must constantly switch sides to survive procedurally generated obstacles, creating a fast and intense puzzle experience.

What players say

Players describe SOMOS as an addictive arcade game that gets hard fast. It uses only the mouse, and reviewers praise the tension as levels add new mechanics. Some find the difficulty uneven and the content light for the price.
