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 battle of wits where careful resource management and territorial expansion create a fast-paced, punishing chess match against adaptive AI opponents.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast casual strategy game like checkers on a bigger board, with matches that don't require hours. The tutorial is missing and the controls are unexplained, leading players to figure out drag-and-drop on their own. Multiple reviews ask for stat tracking, sound, and achievements, while a Chinese reviewer says an update broke territory capture.
