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 slow-burn, deeply strategic RPG where every point invested and every choice matters, rewarding meticulous planning over flashy action.

What players say

Players say the Steam version no longer works and has been abandoned, directing everyone to the website. The game is praised for its deep, grindy old-school mechanics but criticized for requiring a subscription to progress realistically. Many feel the monetization is greedy and the community can be unwelcoming.
