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 peaceful, no-rush puzzle game where you methodically resolve clues at your own pace, with optional challenges for those who want more depth.

What players say

Players compare it to Hexcells, calling it a solid minimalist deduction puzzle. Some say early levels are too easy and rely on scanning for missed clues rather than logic, though later puzzles get more challenging.
