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.

A gentle, lighthearted adventure with charming pixel art and turn-based battles, where you help a cute black cat save her home.

What players say

Players call it a short, cute RPG with charming cat characters, but the lack of guidance frustrates some, and the gameplay gets repetitive. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it easy after learning the loop, while others warn of sudden spikes and grindy battles. The roguelike endgame mode divides reviewers.
