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 calming, hands-on tutorial that guides you step by step through pixel art techniques while you draw fan art and design a pinball machine.

What players say
Players are split: some love it as the best art education tool they have tried, while others say it is mostly tedious tracing with too little freedom. Enthusiasts praise the fundamentals taught and the cozy music, but critics wish it let you skip steps and stop holding your hand. The game is still in early access and reviewers note that content has grown since 2025.
