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 condensed, narrative-heavy journey through a desert protectorate, driven by character motivations and political intrigue rather than grind or exploration.

What players say

Players praise the short, focused adventure with well-written characters and smart dialogue, though the deliberately archaic language is a point of contention. The few, challenging turn-based battles are woven into the story rather than used as filler, and the compact world rewards exploration without overstaying its welcome.
