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 calm, mentally engaging word puzzle that feels like a lightweight brain workout.

What players say
Players praise it as a fun free language-puzzle time waster but many are frustrated by the muddled mix of American and British English pronunciations, which makes guessing the correct spelling confusing.
