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 but strategic roguelike where pachinko-style physics and deckbuilding combine for tense turn-based battles against tough enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy the satisfying ball physics and dopamine of pulling off powerful combos, but many note the game is content-light with only a few stages and characters. There is a split on balance: some find lower difficulty levels forgiving and fun, while others say higher Cruciball runs and the final boss feel too RNG-dependent.
