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.

A tense, escalating baseball duel where you fight to keep your cool under pressure as the game gets progressively unfair.

What players say

Players call it a weird, fun blend of baseball and emotional control, comparing it to Punch Out. They love the dad customization and clickable pigeons, find the dual mechanics challenging in a good way, and appreciate that failure is okay. A few warn the hitting is nearly impossible.
