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 brief, linear storybook adventure with quirky humor and beautiful artwork, focusing on dialogue and character interaction rather than gameplay challenge.

What players say

A janky, short comedy RPG that leans into its MS Paint visuals and absurd humor. Players finish in about an hour, laughing at the dialogue and weird interactions, though a few on Steam Deck found it needed frame rate capping.
