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 deliberately paced, story-heavy RPGMaker adventure where your choices shape the fate of a resource-starved dystopia.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters, calling it a decent RPG Maker game. It is very short, completable in about three hours, but some puzzles make no sense. Performance problems and a game-breaking tutorial bug are noted.
