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.

What players say

Players are split on this digital adaptation of a well-liked board game. Many early reviews call it broken, buggy, and unfinished, with a clunky interface and no save feature. Later patches won back some players, who say it now works well and has a helpful tutorial, though the AI and multiplayer remain weak points.
