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 deliberate, story-driven pixel-art RPG where exploration and turn-based combat with elemental strategy unfold a tale of hope and suffering in a dangerous fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the cozy nostalgic feel and the unique two-person party featuring a dog companion. Combat is turn-based with a weapon system that rewards strategy, and boss fights are a highlight. The game offers multiple endings and is playable on Steam Deck.
