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 speedy, retro anime dungeon crawler with lighthearted turn-based combat and brief story bursts.

What players say

Players are split on this RPG Maker game. One side calls it a low-effort asset flip with a short 40-50 minute campaign covering only two chapters. The other finds it a fun, compact roguelike with speedy auto-combat, a level-reset system like Mystery Dungeon, and absurd humor about a trash can fighting a zoo. Supporting the developer is a notable tension.
