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 slow, deliberate puzzle game where careful number-logic meets the tense risk of a single misstep resetting your progress.

What players say

Players like the low price and the twist of sweeping mines on a sphere in three tile shapes, but complain about controls: fast clicks don't register and misclicks are common. The game is simple and lacks visual polish, and late-game puzzles force guesswork that can feel unfair.
