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

Feels like a melancholy tabletop session narrated by a gamesmaster, with deliberate card-based combat and a somber fantasy tone.

What players say

Players praise the card-based tabletop aesthetic and soundtrack but find the traditional JRPG combat repetitive and the difficulty low. Opinions split on the story: some say it starts slow and only gets interesting near the end, while others enjoy the dialogue and narration throughout.
