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 fast but casual tile-matching arcade game that feels like a pixelated retro puzzle you can play under pressure or settle into for relaxed, timed-less hunting.

What players say

A mahjong-likesolitaire where tiles stack in three layers and lines cannot wrap across the map's border. The timer is tight and forced, though there is an untimed mode without leaderboards. Players split on the controls: some call it a twitch game, others find it a thoughtful puzzle.
