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 surreal, turn-based tactical RPG that feels like exploring a dreamlike, nightmarish world with a heavy narrative, tense atmosphere, and branching paths.

What players say

Players like the traditional RPG gameplay and story depth across multiple cycles, but many are frustrated that the game crashes often, bans save editing even in single-player, never organizes the inventory, and does not let stat-boosting items carry into new game plus. The difficulty spikes hard in act 6 unless you grind, and higher difficulties demand even more repetition.
