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.

What players say

Players say BeadsPopper is an extremely hard match-3 puzzle game where you fight monster girls. The difficulty is a common point of contention, with some praising the challenge and others finding it too punishing for the fun it offers. There is a secret easy mode that disables achievements. The art and idle animations are praised, but players note the game lacks explicit sex scenes.
