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 flexible digital tabletop sandbox that feels like building and exploring 3D worlds at your own pace.

What players say

Players see this as a promising 3D virtual tabletop with powerful map-building and customization, but many find the controls clunky and the free version limited without DLC for custom tokens. Performance is a concern for lower-end systems, and some miss quality-of-life features like hotkeys for object manipulation.
