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 lighthearted, whimsical adventure about cats in costumes, mixing casual exploration, gentle puzzles, and silly existential discussions.

What players say

Players say this is a basic RPG Maker game that leans hard on cat puns and pop culture references for humor, which some find grating and others enjoy. The writing is heavy on text, the combat is simple but can be tough, and the branching choices lead to a short 8-20 hour experience that requires multiple playthroughs to see everything.
