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 are split on Tile Tale: some find it a relaxing tile-matching puzzle with strategic depth, while others criticize its lack of a save feature, bugs, and unbalanced portals. Long-time players note early updates fixed some issues but say the developer has moved on, leaving problems like broken windowed mode and unfair RNG unaddressed.
