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 chill yet strategic puzzle roguelike where you navigate dream worlds with lo-fi music while solving minesweeper-style rooms.

What players say

A cozy blend of minesweeper, dungeon crawling, and rhythm combat with cute pixel art. Players appreciate the relaxing lofi soundtrack and short 4-hour completion time. However, several note the lack of a run button makes backtracking tedious, and the puzzle generation sometimes forces guessing instead of logic.
