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, open-ended action RPG that feels like a lighthearted fantasy adventure with strategic combat and exploration.

What players say

Players like the retro MMO feel and charming story, but consistently say the campaign is over in 7 to 9 hours, leaving them wanting more. Combat requires manual locking on and strategic potion use, and some find the controls fussy. Reviews note the game is short and many suggest waiting for a sale.
