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 methodical and satisfying puzzle simulation where you carefully design and rewind factory layouts to achieve peak efficiency.

What players say

Players describe Hexahedra as a Zachlike programming puzzle where you manipulate cubes into shapes. They praise the rewind mechanic for optimization and note the clever difficulty curve, but find the UI clunky. Many find themselves mentally rotating cubes away from the screen.
