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 simple, relaxing number-merge puzzle game with a clean, minimalist look and a satisfying elimination mechanic.

What players say

Players praise it as a clever mashup of 2048 and Tetris, but the random number drops in normal mode cause frustration and sudden resets. The simple mode with only X2 blocks offers a calmer challenge. Players split on whether the game is best for quick mobile-style sessions or feels too shallow on PC. Achievements did not unlock at launch.
