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

You design and preview fireworks displays, with a calm, creative sandbox feel that lets you orchestrate light and sound at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the simulator for being easy to use and letting them sync fireworks to music. However, many note that quality-of-life features like undo are locked behind a paid pro subscription, which frustrates them.
