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 punishing, choice-heavy tactical RPG that forces careful planning and rewards player agency with a dense, branching narrative.

What players say

Players love the deep, branching story where choices truly shape outcomes, but warn that combat is brutally hard and RNG-dependent, and the game demands heavy reading and careful planning. It is unforgiving and not for everyone, yet highly replayable for those who enjoy old-school, thoughtful RPGs.
