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 charming, turn-based RPG with a gentle, goofy protagonist that blends cute pixel art with understated dark comedy and a laid-back exploratory pace.

What players say

Players praise the writing for a natural mix of goofy humor and emotional moments, though some find the third act rushed and the ending abrupt. The large party is a highlight, but some members fade after joining. The game runs well on Steam Deck.
