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 retro pixel-art adventure with goofy dark humor, where you happily harvest monster parts and explore a fantasy world in classic turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise its millennial nostalgia and dark comedy, but warn the combat relies heavily on RNG and grinding. Many find boss fights unfairly difficult regardless of stats, while others enjoy the game's irreverent pop culture references.
