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, tactical monster-breeding romp through a hand-drawn fantasy world where careful fusion and grid-based battles reward patient planning.

What players say

Players praise the monster fusion and hand-drawn art style, but find the 3v3 tactical combat too simplistic and the main story short at about four hours. Opinions are split on bugs: some report the game was broken at launch and later fixed, while others still find bugs and lack of depth. The art style and humor charm some players, but others find attack animations weak.
