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

Restoring hand-drawn pictures with limited colorful tiles feels calm and thoughtful, guided by a tranquil soundtrack.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing yet progressively challenging puzzle game where you stack tiles to match an image. There are 100 levels split into two packs, though some say it is short at around 1–2 hours. Players appreciate the unlimited hints and creativity, but some wish for an undo button.
