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.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth and free-to-play model, but the game is widely reported as buggy: the tutorial often freezes, and crashes are frequent. Linux users face extra hurdles like failing to launch. Reviews are split, with some enjoying the core idea despite the bugs, while others find the bugs ruin the experience altogether.
