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.

What players say

Players call it a tough but fair turn-based strategy game with great music and art. Reviews note the game is short, with some wishing for more story content. The keyboard controls are praised for feeling smooth. One player warns about an unclear death mechanic when spending the night.
