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 low-stakes, self-described quirky turn-based adventure that feels more like a modest experiment than a polished product.

What players say

Players describe it as a minimal RPG that reduces dungeon crawling to menu clicks and backpack management. Some find the inventory puzzle genuinely engaging, but many say it becomes repetitive quickly and that the developer has abandoned it, leaving the game broken on modern systems.
