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 straightforward fantasy adventure where you explore dangerous areas, fight monsters, and grow stronger through combat and character progression.

What players say

Players describe an opaque, punishing RPG where you manage a character's age while scraping by in a bleak world. Reviews emphasize the lack of guidance, a broken English translation, and grindy, slow-paced combat, though the distinctive black-and-white art style and the challenge of planning around limited lifespan are appreciated by those who enjoy difficult, minimalistic games.
