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 tranquil, logic-driven puzzle game with a minimalist aesthetic that challenges the mind without rushing the player.

What players say

Players enjoy the irregular-shaped regions that make this harder than standard sudoku, but opinions split on the interface: some praise the minimalist design while others report a janky UI, eye-straining color schemes, and a notes feature that cannot be manually edited. The game offers 100 puzzles and is widely considered good value, though a few late puzzles require guessing or a guide.
