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 lighthearted yet strategic turn-based adventure where you carefully aim and fling your quirky squid heroes across cartoon battlefields.

What players say

Players praise the charming story, soundtrack, and addictive turn-based flinging combat, with around 20 hours of campaign content. However, a white-screen crash on AMD GPUs and Steam Deck has gone unfixed for over a year, and some report crashing when pausing or zooming, splitting the experience between nostalgia and frustration.
