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 tidy, grid-based puzzle that feels quietly deliberate as each tile placement locks into two patterns at once.

What players say

Players praise the 3x7 grid for adding spatial depth to mahjong, calling it a clever take on Balatro-style roguelites. They split on the 9-slot backpack limiting builds, and some note the scoring formula is hard to learn. A few report performance stutters and incomplete fan types.
