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, minimalist puzzle game where you carefully complete math equations in a crossword style, with randomly generated challenges and customizable themes.

What players say

Players like this math-crossword hybrid for quick puzzle sessions. The auto-save makes it easy to pick up, though normal mode feels easy and expert can be tough. Some players report unsolvable boards in expert mode and a broken achievement system. The developer announced the studio is closing and the game will be removed from sale.
