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

Placing hand-drawn dinosaurs on a grid feels like a gentle, silly logic puzzle you can solve at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a cute and casual puzzle game similar to 'Cats Organized Neatly', with 100 levels that get trickier as dinosaurs come in different shapes. There is a split on the achievement design: one reviewer complains that a hidden achievement for no hints feels punishing after completing all levels, while others enjoy the cozy pacing.
