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 classic top-down hack-and-slash adventure with pixel graphics and minimal hand-holding, letting you explore dungeons and quests at your own pace.

What players say

Players admire the retro pixel art and soundtrack but are divided on everything else. Some find it a charming, challenging RPG with rewarding combat, while others call the combat sloppy and the controls unrebindable. The story ends on a cliffhanger five hours in, and the game is widely considered stuck in early access.
