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 slow, thoughtful RPG where every decision carries weight, and the inevitability of loss drives a quiet urgency to mend what is broken.

What players say

Players praise the sketchbook art style and the deep build variety, with many highlighting how different runs feel. Reviews note the game starts easy but ramps up fairly, and the adjustable difficulty plus post-game options suit different skill levels. Some wish for QoL features like a story log, but the 30-plus hours to true ending is seen as good value.
