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 gentle, handcrafted RPG that feels like wandering through a storybook world, with optional tactical battles and a calm pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and storybook world, but the game is short at 5-6 hours. Combat is a puzzle of positioning spells, mostly easy until a sharp difficulty spike at the final boss. It draws frequent comparison to Undertale, with some calling it a lighter, less scary version.
