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 pixel-art adventure that feels like a quirky, comedic take on classic dungeon crawling with a whimsical work-life twist.

What players say

Players praise the 1-bit Gameboy aesthetic, soundtrack and humorous writing, with many comparing it to Zelda and Undertale. However, some find combat clunky due to free movement but only 8 attack directions, and opinions split on the fourth-wall-breaking ending and visibility issues in the monochrome graphics.
