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, progressively challenging tile-matching puzzle journey through a hand-drawn Tibet with light story and power-ups.

What players say

Players call it a chill match-3 game played like billiards, flicking colored tokens to clear the board. A difficulty wall at the third section frustrates some who cannot earn gold medals. The presentation is outdated with a locked 4:3 aspect ratio and black bars, but runs smoothly on weak PCs. Music and art receive praise.
