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 cozy, lighthearted adventure where you guide a charming elderly king through witty tales of his youth, with gentle puzzles and meaningful choices that shape the narrative.

What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting, and humor, calling it genuinely funny. Puzzles are enjoyable but get harder in chapters 4 and 5, and the walking speed is slow. The three story paths give reason to replay.
