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, magical puzzle game where you arrange enchanted ingredients in increasingly bigger grids, surrounded by flickering candles and mystical creatures.

What players say

Players describe a cozy witch-themed block puzzle where you fit Tetris-like shapes into a cauldron. They praise the hand-crafted levels and relaxing pace with no time limit, though some find the later bigger puzzles less engaging. It takes roughly 2 to 4 hours and the soundtrack and pixel art are highlights.
