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 tense, turn-based mahjong experience where you must spot subtle rule-breaking anomalies while solving puzzles under pressure.

What players say

Players split on this mahjong anomaly game. Fans love the creative, weird scenarios and call it fun with offline mahjong knowledge, but critics say the anomalies are vague, the trial-and-error is frustrating, and the glossy tiles are hard to see. Many note it requires intermediate riichi skills and feels more like a quiz than a game.
