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 breezy, humorous interactive novel where you juggle impersonation, romance, and caped hijinks entirely through text.

What players say

Players praise the well-written story and meaningful choices that lead to different endings, with one reviewer comparing it favorably to the Heroes Rise series. The game is a text-based CYOA with stat checks, and players split on length: some find it perfect, others say it feels rushed in the last two chapters.
