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 typing challenge where you quickly type words to fend off monsters, blending light tension with a playful, educational feel.

What players say

Players appreciate the typing practice with Chinese translations and phonetic aids, but many criticize the targeting system for prioritizing words with the same first letter instead of the nearest threat. The game is also seen as too easy and slow, with a small word pool and repetitive words, though the menu typing interaction is a standout feature.
