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, number-matching puzzle game that feels like a soothing underwater daydream with a playful pun.

What players say

Players describe this as a relaxing no-timer addition puzzle that can suddenly become frustrating when large numbers crowd the board and luck dictates merges. The screen shake makes some nauseous, and later adventure mode stages spike in difficulty. A frequent ask is an undo button and a warning before the right-click surrender.
