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 mentally demanding abstract puzzle that feels like mastering a minimalist system through precise optimization against a target score.

What players say

Players find Fourtex Jugo overly complex for a puzzle game, with a vague tutorial that makes the mechanics hard to grasp. Once understood, it offers deep strategy and hundreds of levels, but some say similar games are available on mobile for less.
