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 light and colorful turn-based strategy game with rich storylines, still being built out.

What players say

Players report the game requires a constant network connection despite being single-player, and many cannot connect at all. Those who do get in describe extreme difficulty swings and progression-blocking bugs in later stages, with a story that cuts off before the ending. The developer is criticized for abandoning the game and pushing players to a paid group.
