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 gentle, low-pressure puzzle where you methodically place colorful hexagon pieces on an expanding board, with simple rules that gradually demand more foresight.

What players say

Players call it a soothing yet challenging puzzle game built around hexagon tiles. It offers several gameplay modes, grows in difficulty slowly, and is often used as a filler between other games.
