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 light, humorous management game where you play as an NPC assigning quests, with reactive dialogue and branching outcomes that feel like a comedic visual novel.

What players say

Players appreciate the funny writing and the fresh premise of assigning quests rather than taking them, but opinions split on whether the game delivers on that idea. Many say it is short and simple, with trial-and-error levels and no fast-forward, while others find it addictive and charming.
