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 low-stakes adventure of riding through towns, talking to locals, and solving problems while a mysterious force looms in the background.

What players say

Players praise the lighthearted humor and charming characters but note it is very short at around 30 minutes and lacks controller joystick support. Some compare its art and tone to Earthbound.
