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 frantic, party-style magic duel where up to four players fling spells across colorful, trap-filled arenas.

What players say

Players agree the game is fun for a short session with friends, but most say it is overpriced: six minigames, of which two or three feel like reskins or waste, deliver about fifteen minutes to a week of enjoyment. A few players note the AI gangs up on the human, and there is no online multiplayer.
