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, turn-based word game where you place letters on a colorful board to build crosswords against a fair computer opponent or a friend.

What players say

Players say CrossCraze is a solid Scrabble-like word game with strong CPU opponents that offer a real challenge, especially at higher levels. Some find the beeping sound when placing letters annoying, and a few wish for an in-game dictionary or a solo blitz mode. Overall, it is praised for being a well-made, relaxing alternative to Scrabble.
