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 light-hearted, cynical RPG with turn-based combat and a sense of accidental adventure.

What players say

Players describe a short, 6-hour RPGMaker JRPG with a pre-made party and standard turn-based combat. Opinions split on the difficulty: some find the story weak and status effects frustrating, while others finish the game comfortably. The music gets called annoying by at least one player.
