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.

What players say

Players praise the excellent interface and quality-of-life features, with many noting the large number of puzzles including tough 30x30 grids. Some find the time trials and zero-tolerance-for-mistakes achievements frustrating, while opinions are split on the odd story and steampunk aesthetic.
