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 slow, deliberate space RPG where you solve problems through conversation or cleverness, failure leads to creative alternatives, not game over.

What players say

Players love the freedom and replayability but are split on bugs and polish: combat is often optional but can be glitchy, and movement in tight spaces is frustrating. The game is short, around 3-5 hours per run, and strongly rewards specializing your character.
