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

Exploring a vibrant pixel world, you capture and train cute creatures in turn-based battles with a laid-back retro feel.

What players say

Players say Nuumonsters is an unfinished creature collector that serves as a rough precursor to the developer's later game Dokimon. Many found it buggy, with broken achievements, unclear directions, and grindy pacing, though a few appreciate its retro charm and short length.
