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 minimalist puzzle game about combining Chinese characters to craft new ones, encouraging creative thinking and methodical exploration.

What players say

Players are split on this Chinese character puzzle game. Many praise its creative use of character components and hidden depth, but nearly all agree the logic can be arbitrary, the puzzles feel like guessing the developer's mind, and the lack of an undo button is frustrating. Long-time players also note the removal of a free-play area.
