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 retro-inspired adventure where you collect and battle colorful creatures using turn-based tactics.

What players say

A short, janky monster-collector with only 23 creatures, no evolution, and permanent stat boosts that quickly break the game. Players warn of crude, age-inappropriate NPC dialogue and bugs like losing a battle still counting as a win. Many still found it fun for the low price.
