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 straightforward, accessible mahjong simulator that feels methodical and instructive, focused on learning and fair play.

What players say

Players warn that the game is a mobile port built around gambling-style microtransactions where you run out of free credits and must pay real money to continue. The English translation is widely mocked as unreadable. A few enjoy it as a straightforward way to play Chinese or Riichi mahjong online, but most call it a cash grab.
