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 tabletop RPG brought to life, driven by voiced narration and tactical turn-based combat in a swashbuckling fantasy setting.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the narrator and tabletop presentation, but most warn of game-breaking bugs, frequent softlocks, and clunky controls. Non-VR players especially struggle with the camera and controls, and the campaign is short with no DLC.
