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 straightforward, lovingly retro turn-based JRPG that feels like revisiting a familiar 8-bit adventure without surprises.

What players say

Players say this is a short, nostalgic NES-style JRPG that deliberately channels early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. They praise the chiptune music and pixel art, and note a fun character-swapping mechanic for puzzles. Some point out rough UI edges and a missing enemy health bar.
