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 low-key experimental hub with one meditative space for slow exploration and one rhythm-driven arcade game that builds intensity as your combo grows.

What players say

Players are split on this game. Some describe it as a shallow collection of two simplistic ball-throwing minigames that feel like a cheap version of Peggle, not worth the asking price. Others praise 12 different levels with fresh challenges, good music, and a difficulty that stays motivating for competitive play.
