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.

What players say

Players see this as a short proof of concept, finishing in under ten minutes with no reason to replay. Combat is described as repetitive with poor feedback, and a controller issue cancels intended buff selections. A minority of reviews call it enjoyable long-term, but most agree it needs substantial development.
