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 lighthearted, simulation-style tennis game where you tactically place shots and dictate player movement in a 1920s-themed atmosphere.

What players say

Players strongly disagree: some call it a surprising free-to-play tennis game with a charming 1920s art style and an AI that learns your style, others dismiss it as a pay-to-win mobile port full of microtransactions.
