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 lighthearted, hands-on toy-like experience where you fiddle with pegs and watch balls tumble to hit score targets.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic peg-based roguelike loop and the sheer number of combos and playstyles, often comparing it to Peggle and Balatro. They note it takes some learning to understand synergies, and some feel certain pegs and balls are overpowered relative to their rarity. A few warn about one specific board unlock that they regret, calling it a major mistake.
