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 bizarre, text-heavy RPG that mixes old-school turn-based combat with supernatural gunfights and a darkly humorous, conspiracy-laden story, still being tinkered with by a single developer.

What players say

Players are split on the political messages, but many praise its quirky, chaotic humor and freedom, like having a party of cats with assault rifles. Longtime fans note it spans over 20 years of development, though some critics call the gameplay mediocre and the propaganda heavy.
