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 gentle, retro-flavored pinball experience that eases newcomers into the arcade tradition with automatic assists and classic score-chasing mechanics.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and affordable price, but many warn the default music is grating and must be turned off. The game offers a single table with forgiving physics, a slow-motion save mechanic, and settings like tate mode and CRT filters that boost enjoyment after tweaks.
