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.

What players say

Players say this is a short, cozy adventure with a clear Undertale-style inspiration. The boss fights stand out as engaging, the humor lands, and the minimalist pixel art and music feel warm. It is meant to be finished in one or two sittings, with multiple playthroughs for full completion. Some wish for more choices or faster movement.
