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 typing game where you frantically type words to battle monsters and complete quests as a debt-ridden sorcerer rebuilding his fortune.

What players say

Players love the frantic typing, often resorting to spamming the fireball spell. It is very short, about an hour long, and the final boss is a highlight, though some find the midgame impossible without the dominant ignae max strategy.
