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 retro sci-fi survival RPG where you scavenge, craft, and fight through unstable rifts and hostile zones to uncover a mystery.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and ambitious survival-crafting systems, but performance stuttering and uneven difficulty frustrate many. The combat feels stiff, and some resource loops can softlock progress early on, though the developer has been patching.
