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 chaotic and strategic arcade sports game where players constantly twist the rules mid-match, keeping every round unpredictable and laugh-filled.

What players say

Players describe it as a chaotic rule-changing twist on air hockey or soccer. The ability to tweak rules mid-match is widely praised, though some note it can break flow with back-and-forth changes. Twitch and local multiplayer are popular, and reviews mention its simple pickup difficulty but deceptive depth.
