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 frantic, lighthearted wizard battle where you frantically draw spells to knock opponents off a floating island.

What players say

Players describe it as a silly couch co-op game where drawing spells with the mouse is fun but inconsistent, especially for the star spell. It feels like a Mario Party minigame and is best with friends for short sessions, though some report control problems and a shallow single-player mode.
