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.

What players say

Players describe Tile Lands as a cozy yet deep tile-placing puzzle, comparing it to Islanders and Stacklands. The game has a leaderboard and complex combo systems, though some find the lack of an undo button and the way rewards stack at the bottom of the deck frustrating. A few players criticize the unclear tutorial and the absence of any game mode beyond endless.
