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 lighthearted retro RPG with silly, childlike imagination fueling turn-based battles against goofy villains.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful and humorous adaptation of the Axe Cop webcomic, with a surprisingly deep story that connects the original source material. The retro pixel art and chiptune soundtrack are highlights, while combat and exploration feel rewarding, though some note navigation can be unclear and a few achievements are broken.
