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

Playing feels like a chaotic, rule-breaking sports match where you constantly have to adapt to absurd, player-triggered changes.

What players say

Players love the chaotic, glitchy fun especially with friends, and enjoy the real-time rule change mechanic. Some say it needs more game modes and balancing, but the laughter and chaos win out.
