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 soothing, methodical puzzle experience where you connect dots to unify colors against a polished, minimalist backdrop.

What players say

Players describe a clean, minimalist puzzle game with a simple rule set that grows demanding. Many say the later levels and bonus puzzles rely on trial and error, though some find satisfaction in logical deduction. Performance is not mentioned. Reviews split on whether the lack of explanation is frustrating or elegant.
