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 narrative-heavy space adventure where your decisions shape relationships and survival, with a focus on dialogue branches and attribute checks.

What players say

Players praise the story and choice-driven gameplay, noting there is no combat and conflicts are resolved through dialogue or puzzles. The game is short, about 3-4 hours, with multiple endings and romance paths, though one romance is underdeveloped. Some players find the retro pixel graphics charming while others call them ugly, and a few report minor bugs.
