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, low-stakes word game where you unwind to chill instrumental music and slowly build words on a sparse, grid-based board.

What players say
Players describe Word Wise as a relaxing, low-pressure word game similar to Bookworm Deluxe. The word list is very lenient, accepting foreign words and abbreviations, which some appreciate and others find frustrating. A few players note slow animations and a lack of long-term motivation.
