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 low-stakes strategy and deduction RPG where you guide a prince's rebellion through turn-based battles and courtroom-style clue gathering, all via simple choices.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip with no manual movement and AI art, while others praise it as a free, tightly-written prince-revenge story with surprising plot twists and simplified Ace Attorney-style deduction. Many say it is a visual novel in pixel form, and note the developer announced a remake to address criticism.
