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

This is a classic retro-style RPG with a straightforward, earnest adventure feel, driven by a story of friendship and fate.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a charming free RPG or a low-effort asset flip made with the Wolf RPG Editor. The battle system is praised as fun, but the story divides opinion and the game is very short, completable in half a day. The lack of WASD controls was a common complaint, though a recent update added them.
