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, grid-based puzzle game where you thoughtfully draw colorful connections between houses and resources under gentle constraints.

What players say

Players describe Tiny Connections as an addictive puzzle game that starts relaxing but becomes surprisingly challenging, especially in expert mode where resource management is critical. Reviews praise the cozy music and daily challenges, though some note it lacks key rebinding and has an edit mode that repeatedly kicks them out of editing.
