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 darkly comedic card game where you gleefully ruin your family's lives for points.

What players say

Players are furious that the developer removed multiplayer after launch, making the digital version a lonely solo experience against bots. Many report the game freezes when they are winning, bots have no difficulty options, and the animated character reactions that once added charm no longer work.
