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 traditional retro turn-based RPG where you explore a medieval world, talk to NPCs, and battle enemies with simple tactical commands.

What players say

Players call it a simple, nostalgic RPG reminiscent of early Dragon Quest on the Famicom, but split on whether that's charming or dated. It is short and easy to complete, though some find the encounter rate high, the map small, and the game too slow for modern tastes.
