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 brisk, tactical RPG where grid-based real-time battles demand quick decisions and the story and progression are shortened for a more compact experience.

What players say

Players praise the free tactical RPG as a fun few hours with a unique real-time grid combat system and charming pixel art, though many note it is clearly a student project with clunky controls and occasional game-breaking bugs.
