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 slowly work through grid-based challenges at your own pace.

What players say

Players say it is a soothing hex-based puzzle game that works well as a stress reliever, but warn the difficulty jumps between too easy and too hard with few medium levels, and point out there is no undo button so any mistake forces a restart of the whole level.
