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 RPG where you play a corporate mage solving puzzles with a personality-filled spell system.

What players say

Players describe it as an amateur project with a custom spellcasting system and a linear, humorous story, but note the controls are weird and can randomly fail. The graphics are dated, like a 1990s Flash game, and while some call it a pleasant surprise for casual puzzle fans, others warn of low production values.
