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

Wandering along a sunny beach, gently nudging colorful shells into matching stacks feels like a quiet, meditative puzzle-solving stroll.

What players say

Players say this is a short but clever sokoban-inspired puzzle game where you stack matching shells. It is cute and often brain-teasing, with some levels requiring many restarts. A menu freeze bug is frequently noted, and a few players find the lack of instructions frustrating.
