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 laid-back arcade game where you casually break down engines while being playfully distracted by characters.

What players say

Players enjoy the breakout gameplay, calling it fun and addictive with a good challenge, especially in later levels. They note the art quality is inconsistent, with some praising the main artist's work but criticizing the unlocked CGs as a letdown. The game requires grinding for adult content, and controls feel a bit sluggish.
