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

An action game that feels narrative-driven and exploratory, with a dual-perspective story and a robotic companion.

What players say

Players praise the unique movement and weapon-swap combat, but warn that the controls are polarizing and take time to click. The BGM and worldbuilding are standout highlights. Complaints center on poor UI translation, small text, and unreliable controller menus.
