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 calm, methodical puzzle game where you carefully plan each move on a minimalist hex grid, outsmarting a patient AI to collect squares in 76 carefully crafted levels.

What players say

A role reversal of the developer's earlier Hexa Turn: now the player moves a triangle while the AI blocks paths to squares. Players are split on whether the difficulty curve works, with several finding it devolves into blind trial and error rather than deduction.
