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 tense, methodical puzzle-like experience where you must precisely time traffic light switches to prevent chaos.

What players say

Players are split on Green Wave. Some find it a thoughtful simulation of traffic light dependency, but many call it boring and repetitive with buggy level 14 that blocks progress. The early levels are too easy, leading to boredom before anything interesting happens.
