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.

What players say

Players praise it as a short, choice-driven RPG based on classical Greek myth, with multiple endings and routes. Many call it an amateur production that is rough around the edges, but the storytelling and freedom to shape the journey win out. Combat is noted as basic, and the game can be finished in about 90 minutes.
