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 short, lighthearted RPG where a reluctant cat-eared girl and her alien friend navigate trap-filled dungeons together.

What players say

Players almost universally say it is extremely short, finishing in under two hours even with deliberate losses. Combat is trivial, especially with a free overpowered weapon, and the Naughty Status gauge does nothing. The map has no fast travel and the game is mostly a visual novel. Sentiment on value is split, with many calling it overpriced and others okay on deep discount.
