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 methodical, low-stress study tool that feels like a patient tutor guiding you through Japanese basics at your own pace.

What players say

Players say it is a flashcard tool with stroke order and pronunciation, but reviewers split on whether it works as advertised: some call the randomizer broken and the lack of keyboard input demotivating, while others find it a useful supplement alongside other study resources.
