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 chill, collaborative art canvas where players can paint together in real-time with simple pixel brushes.

What players say

Players describe it as a pixel battle game similar to r/Place, with a full color wheel, a cooldown system, and unique animated superpixels. But many note the player base is small, which takes away from the mass-painting chaos that made the concept fun.
