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 calm but strategic tile-matching puzzle game where you build your realm and compete for points with other players.

What players say

Players call it a faithful adaptation of the board game, with tile placement like mahjong solitaire. The game is relaxing and the AI is decent, though some find the strategic depth average compared to similar abstract games like Azul.
