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.

What players say

Players say Dolmenjord is a short puzzle game that starts easy but gets brutally hard, with level 60 noted as especially tough. Many note that each map has only one solution, making it feel repetitive or like a guessing game. Players are split on whether it is a relaxing casual puzzle or just tedious, and some call the keyboard and mouse controls awkward on PC.
