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 quirky pinball RPG where you flick balls through fantasy scenes with light physics puzzles and a goofy medieval story.

What players say

Players praise the novelty of combining pinball with RPG mechanics, but opinions split on execution. Some find the story charming and the game quick to pick up, while others feel the progression forces constant healing and certain puzzles become unbeatable, leading to frustration. The campaign is short, around 4 to 6 hours.
