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 stressful medieval medical sim where every rushed diagnosis and treatment decision can lead to fatal consequences, blending grim humor with life-or-death pressure.

What players say

Players praise the medieval art style and funny tone but split on the gameplay's staying power. Many say it plays like a short flash game that gets repetitive quickly, and several report bugs like towels or patients blocking actions. A specific complaint is that the good ending requires a guide to find due to obscure item use.
