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, minimalistic puzzle experience where you rotate tiles to connect matching colors, with quiet satisfaction from solving each randomized layout.

What players say

Players describe CONNECTED! as a minimalist pipe-rotating puzzle where you connect colored paths on a random board. Most find it good for short, relaxing sessions while listening to something else, though some say it gets dull after a few attempts. A few reviewers report it crashes on launch, and one suggests going to the sequel instead.
