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 calm, methodical puzzle game where you drag colored cubes to clear rows and keep track of your score.

What players say

Players describe a Tetris-like puzzle without rotation or a timer, where pieces can be placed anywhere on a 9x9 grid. Opinion is split on its value: some find it relaxing while others say it lacks variety and feels like a mobile game.
