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 fast-paced word puzzle that pulses with whatever music you choose, demanding quick thinking and typing while the beat keeps the pressure on.

What players say

Players say Alphabeats is tough, demanding both quick reflexes and a strong vocabulary. The cursor-based letter picking feels like a leftover from the mobile version, and the single dictionary word list leaves some frustrated when common words are rejected.
