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 whimsical, absurd multiplayer game where players pretend to be airplanes, making engine noises and imaginary explosions in ritualistic dogfights.

What players say

Players widely agree the concept is fun and the art style charming, but nearly everyone reports the multiplayer-only game is dead, with no bots and empty servers making it unplayable without friends.
