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 gentle, study-driven auto-battler where answering Japanese vocabulary prompts triggers small RPG skirmishes, feeling more like a paced learning routine than an intense adventure.

What players say

Players say the learning and game halves barely connect, with combat that mostly auto-resolves while you answer questions, though some find the expedition grind genuinely motivating. Early content repeats the same beginner words even on the highest level, and many call the art and UI obviously AI-made.
