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 enjoy the loop of dungeon crawling by night and running a shop by day, calling it charming and relaxing. But many say combat is clunky, the four dungeons feel repetitive, and the game is short, around 10 to 20 hours. Players are split on keyboard and mouse support: some find it unplayable without a controller, while others say controller support itself has bugs that force restarts.
