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 fast, rhythmic typing duel where quick wit and fast fingers meet a cute but desperate streamer in a flood of internet slang.

What players say

Players are split on this typing spinoff. Many say it is very short, completable in under an hour, and that the absence of spacebar typing and inconsistent slang makes the core game feel awkward. A hidden minigame described as a basic metroidvania is often called the better part. The difficulty is high for English, let alone Japanese or Chinese, and there are no achievements to motivate replay.
