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 theatrical, whimsical adventure where you play a peasant boy navigating opulent palace intrigue with a lighthearted, playfully absurd tone.

What players say

Players praise the humor and writing, calling the dialog funny and surprisingly edgy. The art style reminds some of old Flash animations, and the game's self-aware gags land well. Reviews split on value: most call it a blast, but one player calls it a cash grab not worth the asking price.
