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 casual, story-driven game where you chat with opponents in a stylized, atmospheric battle arena, blending dark humor with relaxed play.

What players say

Players describe it as a visual novel built around a simplified clone of Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, where you listen to lengthy voice-acted conversations between matches. The combat itself is shallow and maps are few, leading to repetitive play. Sentiment is split: some enjoy the novel blend of chat-room storytelling and strategy, while others find the gameplay and narration tedious.
