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 gentle fantasy adventure where learning beginner Spanish, French, or Italian phrases is woven into exploration and quests.

What players say
Players praise the concept of learning a language through RPG conversations but report widespread translation and pronunciation errors, with native speakers confirming that some languages have wrong genders, made-up words, and AI-generated voices. The game's vocabulary descriptions and dynamic NPC conversations are highlights, though the forced account creation and text-to-speech issues frustrate.
