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 whimsical and funny episodic visual novel where you explore a bizarre universe, zapping between worlds and reconnecting with quirky characters through snappy dialogue and lots of comedic moments.

What players say

Players say it is a fun, character-focused spin-off for Homestuck fans, with writing that captures the comic's humor. Some find the fourth-wall jokes and a game-breaking choice annoying, and the game is short.
