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 basic, unfinished indie game with no apparent mood or intensity.

What players say

Players team up against an AI that tries to guess their drawings, and the fun twist is that people who can't draw well often win because the AI misunderstands their work. The game is praised as a cooperative party game that avoids the friend-fighting problem of games like Mario Party, though some want Chinese language support.
