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 meditative puzzle experience where you draw a single continuous line to flip tile colors, solving each calm, minimal logic challenge at your own pace.

What players say

Players warn that two levels are impossible to complete without editing game files or using a registry hack, and the developer has not fixed them. Most puzzles can be solved without using all the board pieces, which undercuts the challenge. Many see the second volume as a direct copy of the first game with rotated levels and no new mechanics.
