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 playful, fourth-wall-breaking RPG where you navigate a stage-managed fantasy world as a villain actor stuck in an improvised adventure.

What players say

Players describe a short RPG Maker visual novel with parody characters and a twist on the hero-villain story. The combo system is tricky but rewarding, and opinions split on whether the difficulty is a fun challenge or frustratingly steep. Most finish in about 2-5 hours and appreciate the humor and two endings.
