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.

What players say

Players criticize the lack of a tutorial and say success depends more on luck than skill, with random black circles causing instant game over. A few praise the retro arcade aesthetic and color, but most find it shallow and not worth the price.
