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 lighthearted, old-school parody RPG with whimsical quests and self-aware humor, played entirely with mouse.

What players say

Players praise the absurd humor and old-school RPG feel. The story is goofy but has a surprising scale and ending. Combat is simple and cooldown-based, and the game lasts 5 to 9 hours. Some find cryptic progression and slow movement off-putting.
