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 relaxing and creative mixing of magical ingredients and world-building feels playful and open-ended.

What players say

Players praise the potential and crafting systems but are split on recommending the game. Most complaints center on the lack of a save feature, absent tutorials, and bugs in the crafting that break item combinations. The combat and screen shake also frustrate, though some enjoy figuring out the opaque mechanics without guidance.
