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 methodical, grid-based puzzle game where you manipulate a growing chain of cubes to match colorful shapes against a leaderboard.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a relaxing time-waster with leaderboards, others call it frustrating because one wrong move forces a restart and the move counter does not reset. The lack of an undo button and a reset that does not clear moves are the top complaints, while the minimal gameplay and classical music get mixed reactions.
