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 frantic, deceptively difficult adventure where you lasso monsters and explore a shifting, dangerous jungle labyrinth.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute art style and riding many creatures, but say it gets repetitive after about five hours. Fast travel is limited to visited tiles and enemy damage scales to force frequent restarts, which some find tedious. The creature variety is high, but collecting them loses appeal once you find a good one.
