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

You build a team of quirky Beastie creatures, explore a bright open world, and win volleyball matches through tactical turn-based plays fueled by the personal bonds between your Beasties.

What players say

Players praise the tactical volleyball combat and unique creature designs, comparing it favorably to Pokemon and Paper Mario. The early access state leaves some beasties visually incomplete, and the postgame offers a sharp difficulty spike.
