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

Cautious exploration in a fleshy, breathing world where each new ability brings a grim tactical puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted claymation art style but note it is a short RPG Maker game at around three hours. The combat focuses on fire-based powers and adaptation mechanics, though some wish puzzles extended beyond fights. The design starts out obtuse and the ending has mixed reactions.
