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 lighthearted, cartoonish chess game where you pick a cute animal, grab goofy items, and scramble through bomb-filled chaos to be the last one standing or first across the finish line.

What players say

Players enjoy the cheap price and cute animal art, along with the simple luck-based gameplay similar to Monopoly. They consistently note the UI is rough and there is no multiplayer.
