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 slow-burn tactical puzzle where you carefully move pieces and capture territory at a relaxed, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players praise the bite-sized tactical matches that blend chess moves with resource capture, but the game was retired shortly after launch with no further updates, and some features like four-player mode never materialized. Reviews split on whether the rule changes are clever or frustrating.
