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 collaborative tabletop-inspired RPG where players work together to shape a narrative through strategic choices.

What players say

Players praise the simple rules, gorgeous art, and easy onboarding for new TTRPG players, but frustration mounts over steep DLC costs, limited homebrew tools, and a rigid system that cannot run D&D or Pathfinder. The UI draws mixed reactions: some find it intuitive, others call it clunky.
