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 experience where you slowly deduce the correct numbers using thermometer-based logic.

What players say

Players praise the hand-crafted puzzles and find the thermometer twist makes sudoku more engaging, even for those not fond of standard sudoku. The difficulty ramps nicely, and the hints are well-designed, though some note there is no background music and that it is just sudoku with a twist.
