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, introspective blend of match-3 puzzle and text-based storytelling that mirrors the cyclical, everyday grind of adult life with a touch of satirical wonder.

What players say

Players praise the match-3 puzzles as well-designed and addictive, but the real draw is the bleak, satirical story about corporate drudgery and modern life. Reviews are split on the writing: some find it brilliant and touching, while others call it clumsy and one-note. The game is short, often completed in a single evening.
