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 slow-paced, minimalist real-time tactics duel that prioritizes thoughtful decisions over speed and memorization.

What players say

Players praise the clean, simple tactical gameplay but consistently report the multiplayer is dead and there is no singleplayer mode, making the game unplayable for most. Many describe it as a bare-bones proof of concept rather than a full game.
