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

Players build and manage their own island with a light roguelike deckbuilding system and slot machine mechanics in a cute pixel art world.

What players say

Players appreciate the mix of slot-machine luck with city-building, but they consistently criticize the unclear tutorial, clunky UI, and lack of key features like rotation and a quick-sell option. Opinions are split on replayability, with some calling it addictive and others finding it frustratingly unbalanced.
