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 heartfelt pixel-art RPG adventure where a grieving father explores a snowy world in turn-based combat and puzzle solving to save his dying daughter.

What players say

Players say this is a very short RPG Maker game, about one hour long, that can be finished quickly. It has a goofy story with some grammar issues in English, but people enjoy the five difficulty modes and the rank system that encourages replays for higher scores. Some mention bugs like softlocks and a poorly optimized snowball minigame, and the game ends on a cliffhanger.
