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 cinematic, mid-length dark fantasy RPG with emotional character-driven storytelling, challenging turn-based combat, and a retro pixel aesthetic, allowing flexible exploration without forced grinding.

What players say

Players praise the LGBTQ+ representation in a non-visual-novel format and the sincere emotional story, but criticize clunky movement, unbalanced battles, and a rushed second half. Some also note bugs and lag in certain maps.
