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 nostalgic, casual turn-based RPG that feels like an old-school 8-bit handheld adventure with light character customization and crafting.

What players say

Players call this a solid throwback to NES-era JRPGs with custom sprites, a skill tree, and equipment that changes abilities. The post-apocalyptic story is mostly told through dialogue, and the game takes about 10-15 hours. Some found the writing weak, and a few reported crashes with certain skills, though one major bug was patched.
