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 satirical, retro-styled RPGMaker adventure that blends dark humor with Lovecraftian dread and reflective philosophical undertones, played at a methodical turn-based pace.

What players say

Players praise the bite-sized length and multiple endings but warn that the difficulty is unbalanced, especially on hard mode where RNG dominates. The game restricts healing severely, forcing players to buy potions instead of resting, and the budget art and music are noted as modest. A quick playthrough takes one to two hours, and repeating runs is required for all achievements.
