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

Juggling several frantic mini-games at once, with time-slowing focus to catch your breath, feels like controlled chaos with a playful challenge.

What players say

Players call this a neat collection of arcade-style minigames where you switch between them rather than truly multitask. The bullet-time mechanic lowers pressure, so the game feels more about juggling than speed. Reviews note small rewards for replay and no Chinese text despite being a Chinese-made game.
