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 relaxing and easygoing mahjong game with a light-hearted story mode, based on traditional rules.

What players say

Players find it a decent tool for learning Japanese mahjong, with a helpful tutorial and characters inspired by the Saki manga. However, it feels unfinished: the English translation is poor, the game is buggy, and the story mode offers no actual mahjong play. Players are split on whether the fun of anime-themed ability matches outweighs the rough edges.
