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 casual typing game where luck and skill intertwine in short, timed bursts of scoring.

What players say

Players describe it as a typing game wrapped in a pachinko machine, where you must win the slot to earn typing time. The vocabulary is almost entirely pachinko and slot terms, which some find fun to learn. Performance depends heavily on luck, a run can end with zero score. The game is entirely in Japanese and requires a Japanese keyboard setup, which non-Japanese players note as a barrier.
