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 quiet, thoughtful puzzle game where you slowly piece together clues in a calm, medieval-themed setting.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming and addictive logic puzzle game reminiscent of Mastermind, with relaxing atmosphere and excellent music. Many praise the replayability from procedurally generated puzzles, but some say certain puzzles rely too much on guesswork rather than logic, and a few note early clues can be unclear. Players split on the difficulty, calling it both challenging and relaxing.
