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.

What players say

Players find the game fun with good potential, especially praising the responsive developer and frequent updates. However, many note a lack of content and a poor tutorial, with specific complaints about unintuitive unit targeting and annoying enemy immunities that require mixing damage types without clear indicators.
