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 competitive, mentally demanding math arena where speed and calm precision determine your rank.

What players say

Players praise the competitive ELO system and the brain workout, but criticize the steep difficulty spike between ranks and the requirement to input decimals only -- fractions and irrational numbers are marked wrong. Some report bugs with Chinese text display and an abandon penalty that they find amusing.
