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, text-driven multiplayer tug-of-war where you must outwit hidden foes through typing and bluffing in a minimalist cyberpunk setting.

What players say

Players like the concept and music, but the game is nearly dead online with very few active players. Finding a match is hard, especially outside peak regions, and many note the detailed manual is lengthy. Some criticize a controversial ChatGPT integration added late in its life.
