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

You puzzle out efficient placement and resource use to build structures for a demanding client, feeling like a methodical architect managing a fiendish to-do list.

What players say

Players say Hell Builder is a unique puzzle game that feels like a city builder crossed with solitaire, where placement and adjacency matter. It is chill with no timers, but can be surprisingly difficult when you must hit all three sigil goals at once. Opinions split on progression: some find it satisfying, while one critic calls it spammy and says runs can be stacked with bonuses.
