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.

A straightforward, low-stakes puzzle collection that feels like settling into a familiar matching game rhythm.

What players say

Players praise the classic match-3 puzzle gameplay and nostalgia, especially the absence of ads or microtransactions. But several warn that the game triggers antivirus alerts for a riskware called Creprote, and later levels become frustratingly random. Performance issues are common, with fullscreen mode causing trouble on modern graphics cards and Steam Deck.
