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 laid-back, colorful 2D open world where you wander retro streets helping quirky characters and playing with kids.

What players say

Players praise the authentic LCD game feel, expressive monochrome art, and forgiving checkpoints. Many wish it were longer, the first chapter ends abruptly on a cliffhanger. Some criticize the clunky controls and hidden sequences that require playing at specific real-world hours.
