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 frantic, atmospheric space sandbox that combines trading and combat with a deeply comedic, story-driven point-and-click adventure feel.

What players say

Players praise the 80s synthwave soundtrack and liken it to old-school games like Star Control 2. Opinion is split on polish: some love the exploration and plot, while others point to a clunky interface and poorly balanced rewards.
