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 relaxing and creatively freeing puzzle game where you design gardens while exploring a quirky, absurd work world with a unique feudal Japan-inspired art style.

What players say

Players praise the calm atmosphere and original puzzle design, especially multi-panel boss levels that echo The Witness and Taiji. The difficulty spikes without warning, and some find the interface frustrating, lacking a way to undo or restart a level quickly.
