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 low-stakes idle collector where you tap gently to bond with anime characters, each with a distinct personality, and slowly build a collection over time.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a harmless time-waster with cute art, but many more rage about aggressive monetization, duplicate characters that are nearly impossible to convert, and combat bugs like bosses healing fully. Performance issues and repetitive dialogue also draw complaints.
