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 whimsical turn-based adventure where you use weather magic to solve puzzles, help villagers, and make moral choices in a lighthearted open world.

What players say

Players describe a free student-made turn-based RPG with weather magic and exploration. They appreciate the voiced intro and varied areas, but note awkward controls, no saving indicator, and no character progression. Some call it a fun diversion despite low polish, while others see it as a limited academic exercise.
