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 quirky turn-based RPG with experimental combat mechanics and a focus on weapon variety, feeling rough but playfully ambitious in its early access state.

What players say

Players praise the freedom and potential but agree the game is an unfinished early access product, with the main story abruptly ending and core mechanics like combat and skill progression feeling half-baked. Opinions split on value: some enjoy the sandbox despite the rough edges, while many find the $68 price far too high for the content, calling it a fan project with mobile game roots.
