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 cute and quirky puzzle game that starts simple but gradually intensifies into a tough test of strategy.

What players say

Players describe Yuso as a cute puzzle game with a clever twist on color matching, comparing it to Lights Out. It offers about 80 levels, but reviewers note it is short and some achievements remain broken as of 2025. Players split on difficulty, novices find it challenging, while experts want more content.
