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.

What players say

Players split on the difficulty. Many say it is punishing and grindy, with slow experience gain and a sudden level cap that can block progress. Some find the combat rewarding after learning the mechanics, while others say balance is broken and the game feels unfinished.
