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 charming and humorous RPG with a soulful story, where you can spare all enemies, but the experience shifts between lighthearted comedy and unsettling, psychological horror.

Players praise the emotional story, memorable characters, and soundtrack, and say choices genuinely affect the ending. Some find the game short or padded in places. A notable number of non-English speakers criticize the lack of official translations.
