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 simple bottle-flipping mechanic is pushed to absurd stakes, creating a tense, repetitive loop where failure means total erasure.

What players say

Players say the game starts brutally hard but rewards persistence with flashy effects and a deep rabbit hole. The true ending requires solving cryptic clues, and seasoned players agree that building a deck of a single can type is the key to high scores.
