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 cheerful, low-stakes puzzle game where you match ornaments to decorate for Christmas while feeling the gentle pressure of gradually tougher levels.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a relaxing festive match-3 with nice music and a house decorating goal, while others say the timed levels become luck-based later and the single hammer power-up feels limiting. The game has 80 levels and a coin system for buying decorations.
