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 tense, turn-based survival RPG where every action point is a calculated gamble against an overwhelming swamp

What players say

Players praise the unique combat and survival mechanics, but split on the turn-based movement system that uses action points for every step, calling it tedious. Caves are a common pain point, with reviewers reporting they run out of torches and get lost. The game has frequent UI bugs and glitches, though the developer is active and responsive.
