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 nostalgic, story-driven RPG with colorful retro visuals and dramatic fantasy themes, played through turn-based combat and branching narrative choices.

What players say

Players are deeply split. Many call it a classic with great music, multiple endings, and deep systems, but others find it unplayable today due to no tutorial, crashing on alt-tab, frustrating mazes, and a brutal early game. Nostalgia carries the positive reviews.
