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 charming, hand-drawn adventure RPG with a playful animal cast and a relaxing pace.

What players say

Players praise the cozy pixel art and tactical tile combat, but opinions split on difficulty: some find it too easy on normal, while others discover challenge on Hard mode. A few report progress-losing save bugs and menu navigation that requires arrow keys and backspace instead of mouse or escape.
