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 quick, competitive text-based game where two players scheme against each other with a playful fairy tale twist.

What players say

Players praise the charming art and writing but consistently note the game is very short, often completable in 30 minutes to an hour. It works best as a two-player competitive board game, with many saying single-player quickly becomes predictable after learning the outcomes. Some find the random events frustrating because there's no way to influence which choice is beneficial.
