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

Filling a hexagonal grid with shapes, each puzzle has only one solution and requires careful logical deduction.

What players say

Players say Hexdoku adapts Sudoku to a hex grid using symbols instead of numbers, with one deterministic solution per puzzle. It offers over 60 levels and a custom level editor, though some find the tutorial weak and the symbol-based logic less satisfying than numbers.
