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 low-stakes card game that feels like a digital solitaire match against a predictable AI opponent.

What players say

Players describe it as a poker-infused solitaire that is easy to pick up and hard to master, with a campaign that offers a solid difficulty curve. The World War II theme is mostly cosmetic, with some players noting anachronistic pilot art. Play sessions can be as short as five minutes.
