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 cheerful little desk pet that trains you in whacky food-slicing tournaments, feeling like a silly arcade time-killer.

What players say

Players see it as a desktop background version of Fruit Ninja, good for killing time during meetings or queue waits. Some find the progression unclear and menus frustrating, but others enjoy the chill distraction and the global leaderboard competition.
