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

Mixing tactical deck-building with the unpredictable physics of a claw machine, it feels like a playful but punishing puzzle where luck and strategy collide.

What players say

Players praise the clever claw machine mechanic but are divided: some find it endlessly addictive and strategic, while others say runs feel too similar and the final boss is a punishing wall of debuffs. Balance is a consistent complaint, and long-time players warn that updates through 2026 have forced them to relearn the game.
