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 calm, meditative puzzle game where you uncover hidden patterns through logical deduction at your own pace.

What players say
Players describe a picross-like logic puzzle that requires full attention and is always solvable without guessing. Some find it more engaging than Hexcells, though a minority finds it unremarkable compared to other puzzle games.
