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 gentle, brain-teasing puzzle game with handcrafted levels, simple drag-and-drop mechanics, and soothing music that encourages focus and relaxation.

What players say

Players describe a short, relaxing puzzle game that teaches a made-up numeral system in about 30 minutes. Many appreciate how the game makes the symbols click intuitively, but some complain of buggy controls that make picking up pieces frustrating.
