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 social word game that layers strategic card rules onto classic spelling, making each round feel like a fresh trivia puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the unique card-based twist on word games, comparing it to Scrabble and Solitaire. They find it challenging and note keyboard input is essential. However, crashes, bugs, and a lack of universal timer toggle frustrate some, and one reviewer says updates through late 2022 made it less recommendable.
