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.

About

David Douillet Judo is a judo-focused sports game featuring former Olympic champion David Douillet. Players can compete in single matches, tournaments, and training modes using a roster of international judoka. The gameplay emphasizes throws, holds, and counters with a control scheme built around timing and positional advantage rather than fast-paced combos. Matches follow standard judo rules and scoring (ippon, waza-ari, etc.), and the presentation includes realistic arenas, commentator-style feedback, and career-style progression for improving a fighter’s skills.
