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 quiet, methodical puzzle game that asks you to carefully plan chains and combos under a dark, surreal atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe it as a math-based puzzle game that starts easy but quickly becomes a brain burner, with a steep difficulty curve. The music is soothing and the pixel art is nice. One player warns about eye-strain from the bright color contrast, but most find it a solid, relaxing challenge.
