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 thoughtful tactical puzzle game where you carefully maneuver across a grid to power up abilities and unravel a story of corruption and survival on a dying colony.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of match-3 puzzle and turn-based tactical combat, calling it a fresh take on the genre. They are split on the story: some find it predictable or poorly written with silly dialogue, while others enjoy the characters and pacing. A common frustration is a reliance on luck and kiting enemies, which can make victories feel undeserved and losses tedious.
