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 calm, logic-focused puzzle game that feels satisfying and methodical, with a gentle ramp in difficulty requiring careful reasoning.

What players say

Players praise the clean UI, handmade puzzles, and QOL features, but many note the complete lack of sound and a mouse selection glitch that makes cell input buggy. Some also mention there are only 100 puzzles and no cloud saves.
