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 slow, thoughtful puzzle adventure that feels like a gentle, meditative exploration through a hand-drawn world, encouraging patience and quiet contemplation.

What players say

Players describe Dabado Puzzles as a relaxing yet challenging Tetris-like where you build branching structures instead of clearing lines. The hand-drawn art and slow pace make it feel meditative, though some find the text-heavy tutorial and unexplained mechanics frustrating. Reviews split on whether the complexity adds depth or just confusion.
