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

Navigating a twisted realm where fiction and memory blur, exploring surreal environments and managing tense encounters through strategic action.

What players say

Players praise the story and its emotional weight, with a clever premise about an author trapped in his own books. Combat is turn-based and requires strategy instead of grinding, but some find the opening slow.
