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, stress-free experience where you catch falling stars to soothing music and unlock colorful baskets without needing to think hard.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing but boring arcade game where you move left and right catching stars. Grinding to 5,000 points for the last achievement takes around 30 hours, and progress can be lost if you uninstall the game.
