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 calm RPG-lite golf sim where you slowly climb the ranks, facing eccentric hazards and practicing to perfect each shot.

What players say

Players call this a faithful take on the Mario Golf formula with a stripped-down RPG leveling system where upgrading distance hurts precision. The procedurally generated courses keep things fresh, but some find the difficulty punishing and the ball physics unpredictable. Several note the lack of camera control and the absence of multiplayer or game modes.
