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 methodical and cerebral puzzle game where you navigate a procedurally generated archipelago, each move requiring careful planning against the quiet backdrop of discovery.

What players say

Players praise the procedural puzzles for feeling hand-crafted, though some note the lack of save points and the repetitive environment. It is often compared to Stephen's Sausage Roll but considered a bit more accessible, with an undo feature that reduces frustration.
