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.

What players say

Players say this match-3 game is far from casual, with levels that take over an hour and punishing mechanics like a lantern system that limits moves. Many compare it to Runefall but find it more tedious and less relaxing. A few enjoy the exploration twist, but multiple reviewers report game-breaking crashes that delete saves.
