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 tense, atmospheric dungeon crawler with simple controls and quick, deliberate movements through a surreal space.

What players say

Fans of the Baroque IP appreciate the aesthetic and call it a fun spinoff, but many wish the original Saturn or PS2 versions were ported instead. Players are split on gameplay quality: some enjoy the simple Frogger loop, while others find it dull or note laggy controls. The gacha system is purely cosmetic and free, which players like.
