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 relaxed but thoughtfully paced creature collection and card battler where each match feels like a gentle puzzle of synergy and planning.

What players say

Players are split on Capture Creatures. Some enjoy the old-school JRPG feel and creature collecting, but a significant number report game-breaking bugs in the tutorial that prevent progress, and find the UI confusing.
