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 slow, story-heavy turn-based RPG that feels like a deliberate, earnest exploration of conspiracy theories, with cute pixel art contrasting its heavy subject matter.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and satirical story, but note the game is rough around the edges. Combat is old-school hard, healing items are costly and early enemies hit hard. Some players dismiss it as a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip, while others split on its political content.
