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 methodical and punishing puzzle adventure where every step demands careful resource management and attribute planning.

What players say

Players say the game is brutally difficult, especially at the start, with a steep difficulty spike in chapter two that feels like a gamble. Many want a difficulty mode. The combat is real-time and demands careful planning, but buffs and monster stats are unexplained, forcing trial and error. Players are split on whether the puzzle-like mechanics are rewarding or frustrating.
