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 tense social deduction game where every interaction feels like a high-stakes gamble, forcing you to constantly second-guess allies and enemies alike.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern twist on the classic mafia formula that shines with a good lobby, where accusations and lying create intense chaotic moments, but the rough interfaces and animations hold it back, and some report vote-blocking problems.
