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 lighthearted RPG where you gather info and use magic to infiltrate enemy bases as a dual-identity phantom thief.

What players say

Players say the game is very short and simple, with repetitive levels and dialogue. Combat is easy and the story is basic, but the art is nice. Some complain there is no h-scene unlock after clearing, and the game feels overpriced for the content.
