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 contemplative turn-based strategy RPG that blends exploration with resource management as you uncover a world's hidden secrets.

What players say

Players praise it as a thoughtful revival of the magic tower formula with creative meta elements and a lengthy, puzzle-heavy campaign. Many appreciate the difficulty options but note that the ending is divisive, with some feeling it doesn't match the build-up.
