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.

What players say

Players warn the game was abandoned in early access after the developer stopped updating due to the war in Ukraine. Those who played praise the story, low-poly art, and gridless tactical combat but note the game is incomplete and may never be finished.
