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 gleefully chaotic crafting session where you slap together plastic bits and stickers, laughing off mistakes because there's no undo button.

What players say

Players praise the game's playful, chaotic creative freedom but are frustrated by missing features like zoom and an undo button. Opinions split on whether it is a true sandbox, as random events and imposed prompts can feel restrictive. Some warn the game is in beta with devs unresponsive and a broken neon fx gun.
