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 card-collecting adventure with quirky humor, pixel art, and a mix of relaxing fishing and strategic deck-building duels.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic TCG-RPG formula, but consistently say the card game is too basic and the AI is too weak. The campaign is short, 5 to 7 hours, and the overworld exploration feels slow and repetitive.
