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 lighthearted strategy game with a humorous, fan-service tone that mixes monster-girl collecting and turn-based battles.

What players say

Players praise the art and monster girl designs, but many report severe lag on the second level and occasional crashes. Gameplay is a simple real-time puzzle where you manage the hero's path, though some find it shallow and repetitive. The story is minimal and achievements require heavy grinding.
