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 calm, meditative puzzle where you roll dice and upgrade them to the sound of soothing effects and gentle music.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing numbers-go-up game where you manage a growing collection of dice. There is no way to lose, which some find refreshing and others a little pointless. A few say Balatro has since made it obsolete.
