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 deckbuilder where you build team synergies through basketball plays, creating a strategic and competitive feel rather than fast-paced action.

What players say

Players praise the creative mix of deckbuilding and basketball but are split on difficulty: many say it becomes frustrating at higher levels where the AI gets extra energy and cards. The game is considered shallow or unfinished by some, with broken cards and a need for more balance and content.
