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 quirky, offbeat adventure with retro action-RPG exploration and a surreal, tongue-in-cheek narrative.

What players say

Players praise the game's unique tone and clever writing, but warn that the rough graphics and frustrating combat can be off-putting. It is a quirky blend of Zelda-style exploration and Ultima-like freedom, with a strange sense of humor and a world that rewards curiosity.
