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 tactical turn-based RPG where you control squishy slimes that take over enemies, mixing cute pixel charm with clever strategic repositioning.

What players say

Players are split on this tactical RPG: some enjoy the challenge of figuring out each puzzle-like level, while others find the difficulty unfair even on easy mode. Leveling slimes feels unrewarding, and progression often requires grinding or exploiting bugs.
