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 party game where you frantically stack bricks and cast spells to sabotage rivals, creating tense yet goofy tower-building mayhem.

What players say

Players love the physics twist on Tetris, which makes towers collapse in hilarious and maddening ways. It shines as a local party game, but solo play exposes frustrating RNG in puzzle mode. Some warn the fun depends on playing with the right people, while the online community is nearly dead.
