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 laid-back, story-driven RPG where you explore feudal Japan at your own pace, make choices that shape the narrative, and engage in light turn-based combat with a humorous tone.

What players say

Players praise the short, well-paced story with multiple endings and choices that impact quests. The pixel art and feudal Japan setting are well received, but some find the world small and progress unclear without guidance.
