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 compare it unfavorably to Black & White, missing the creature pet and charm of that classic. Many cite clunky controls and poor tutorials, while those who persist describe a grindy mid to late game. Opinions split on potential, with some enjoying the god-sandbox framework and the devs' ongoing work.
