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 split on this relaunch. Nostalgia is strong, with old players returning for the memories, but many say the 2026 servers still lag, roll back, and crash, and some report launching to sound with no window. Long-time players note the same bugs and balance issues from 20 years ago remain, with poor hero AI, low rebirth rates, and expensive cash items that don't carry late game.
