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.

A lighthearted, low-stakes claw machine experience with simulated physics and endless prize collection.

What players say

Players say it perfectly scratches the itch of real claw machines without spending money, though the single machine and lack of variety make it repetitive after a while. There is a split on difficulty: some recommend realistic mode from the start, while others find it frustratingly realistic.
