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 grim, methodical struggle through a decaying world where every decision and scarce resource matters in turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the karma-based resource management and emotional story, but split on combat animations and note all characters share the same female voice. The game is quite challenging and lengthy, with a developer who stays engaged.
