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 hand-drawn fantasy RPG with turn-based combat and strategic teleportation, where choices carry irreversible weight and the world feels both beautiful and perilous.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: many praise the story, hand-drawn visuals, and emotional ending, while others criticize the robotic voice acting, overly simple combat, and a presentation that feels more like a visual novel than a proper RPG. The game is short, around 5 to 7 hours, and offers multiple endings.
