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 light and accessible tabletop-style game that feels like a quick, social competition where you aim to launch a projectile at a castle.

What players say

Players praise the clever board game mechanics but are frustrated by broken promises: the store page lists multiplayer and new content as coming soon, updates halted in 2015. The game feels like a mobile port with no online play, leaving local two-player as the only option.
