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, methodical puzzler where you match gems to slowly uncover ancient ruins, with a gentle sense of discovery.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying match-3 twist where you form snakes of identical icons, but many report that later levels become brutally difficult and that the game has persistent launch problems on modern systems.
