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 disorienting turn-based RPG where colorful dreamscapes clash with eerie, rotting worlds and dark humor, demanding careful exploration and punishing straying from the path.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and low price, but many find the lack of clear direction and confusing narrative offputting. Some become softlocked or hit a difficulty wall, and opinions split on whether the surrealism is engaging or just messy.
