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, goofy medieval spoof with a satirical edge, leaning into silly humor and absurdity rather than intense action or spectacle.

What players say

Players praise The Ditty of Carmeana for its hilarious writing and parody of Zelda-like RPGs, with many calling it one of the funniest games on Steam. Most reviewers note the gameplay is deliberately bad or janky, and the experience runs about 10 to 15 hours, though a few found it boring or regretted the purchase.
