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

Exploring a desolate afterlife in a methodical, turn-based RPG where every item matters and boss fights feel earned.

What players say

Players are split on this Gameboy-style RPG: some enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere and monster-catching, while others say it is grindy, glitchy, and that the endgame spikes difficulty unfairly. The combat is simple and item-focused, but critics note a high encounter rate and little benefit from captured monsters.
