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 yet mentally engaging word puzzle game where you explore a hidden grid with a worm buddy, connecting letters to find themed words.

What players say

Players describe it as a blend of word search and trivia where you solve themed puzzles by deducing words from a cryptic clue. The cute worm theme and clean look are praised, but the vocabulary can be a hurdle for non-native speakers. Completions are around 4-5 hours, and many ask for more content.
