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 whimsical word-puzzle adventure where you fight monsters and brew potions by spelling words in a ruined tower.

What players say

Players compare it to Bookworm Adventures and Puzzle Quest, saying the scrabble-like battles have a strategic layer with spells and stat boosts. The single-player campaign is enjoyed in short sessions, though some find it repetitive and wish for multiplayer. The RPG elements and three difficulty levels add replay, but the small screen use and unskippable animations frustrate a few.
