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 tactical hack-and-slash game where players capture strongholds in a tic-tac-toe pattern, blending strategy with real-time combat against AI or other players.

What players say

Players describe this as a tic-tac-toe-based action RPG that is cute and creative for its low price, but they are split on the experience. Many note the online multiplayer is broken or empty, while single-player content is limited to one enemy type with no ranged attacks or traps.
