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 spread colors across tiles with a methodical, meditative feel, rewarding precision over speed.

What players say

Players praise it as a small, clever puzzle game that takes a basic color-spreading rule and makes players think hard. It has around 60 levels and 4 hours of content, with a skip option for when a special tile type frustrates. A minority note achievements are broken and that the game offers nothing new.
