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 tense, chatty verbal duel where players try to outwit strangers with trick questions and social manipulation.

What players say

Players love the concept of tricking someone into saying a secret word, but almost no one is playing online so the game is effectively unplayable alone.
