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 lighthearted, self-aware tabletop RPG simulation where you control both the players and the meta jokes.

What players say

A fun but grindy turn-based RPG that breaks the fourth wall. Players enjoy the class variety and silly story, but many warn about an achievement paywall and say the mobile version makes progress slow without spending money. The game becomes repetitive after several hours.
