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.

About

It's codeword! The classic pen and paper puzzle. In this translation from paper to screen, animated highlights make it is easier to read the state of the board and autofill makes it much quicker to try out different letter combinations. Simply use the letter picker to fill in the grey blanks and find as many words as you can to complete the board! Remember that every letter used can only be used once, so choose wisely. Crazy Zen Codeword. For the wordsmiths, English Language enthusiasts, and boredom fighters alike!
