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 methodical, old-school RPG where you explore a dark fantasy open world, allocating skill points and uncovering a mystery through deliberate, tactical combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short old-school RPG that takes about an hour to finish. It is a solo passion project with Morrowind-like graphics and good worldbuilding, but reviewers are split on whether it feels like a complete game or just a rough proof of concept.
