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 bleak, choice-driven survival RPG where you scramble to scrape by in a decaying world, balancing resource management against unraveling a mysterious past.

What players say

Players describe a harsh post-apocalyptic world with dark humor and moral dilemmas. The start is confusing and difficult, but the game opens up with a large town, side quests, and multiple endings. The RPG Maker engine limits combat and transitions, though the grim Fallout-like atmosphere is praised.
