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 dreamy, story-driven RPG with turn-based tactical combat and pixel-art visuals, blending action and thoughtful decision-making in a quest to lift a curse.

What players say

Players praise the story and dialogue, calling it engaging and sometimes scary, but note the combat is simple and the early access means only one polished chapter so far. Several warn not to use a controller due to mapping problems.
