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 meditative and relaxing first-person crafting experience set in historical Granada, where you create colorful tile designs at a slow, gently-paced pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a calming, meditative tile-design game set in medieval Andalusia. They enjoy recreating historical patterns and seeing their tiles appear in the palace, but note it can be buggy and lacks an undo feature. Opinions split on value: some find it short but satisfying, while one player calls it abandonware after it stopped running.
