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 fast-paced, free-to-play action RPG that feels like a flashy, accessible anime brawler with spectacular kaiju smashing.

What players say

Players praise the high-quality animation and original story that fits between anime seasons, but split sharply on the gacha: many report no pity system, a constant stream of limited characters, and a steep drop in free currency after the first hours. Long-time players note repetitive endgame and random communication errors that force restarts.
