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 quick-fire spelling contest that feels like a relaxing yet timed arcade puzzle where you race against the clock to beat your own high score.

What players say

Players say the dictionary is small and inconsistent, rejecting many common English words while including obscure ones. The game is a simple timed anagram puzzle with only solo play, which quickly becomes monotonous. Some find it challenging at first, but most call it boring and frustrating.
