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 bright and wholesome RPG with a quirky sense of adventure, combining creature collecting and turn-based combat in a pixel-art world that feels playful and accessible.

What players say

Players praise the charming writing, world-building and puzzle-heavy exploration, but note the combat is bland and the soundtrack is extremely limited with only a few tracks. The start feels grindy for some, though an easy mode was added. Many highlight the New Game+ as dramatically changing the experience.
