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 lightweight, arcade-style volleyball game focused on quick rallies and spiking, feeling casual and accessible.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade volleyball gameplay and character designs, but split on the difficulty curve. Some say the late game forces a grind for rare S+ characters and that stat checks dominate skill. Others find the story engaging and controls easy to learn. A few report the game won't launch or displays login failures without an iPhone account.
