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 compare it to DarkOrbit or Deepolis with an underwater reskin. They split on the core loop, some enjoy the relaxing grind and smooth controls while others call it stale. The monthly subscription gives paying players a large progression advantage, and players mention constant lag, slow leveling, and hourly boss spawns that force quests into long waits.
