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 nostalgic top-down voyage that feels like a classic dungeon crawler, mixing shanty-driven exploration with the tension of dangerous foes and a dark bargain.

What players say

Players consistently compare this to classic Game Boy Zeldas, especially Link's Awakening and Minish Cap, with its ship-and-land exploration praised as a fresh twist. It runs around 10 to 15 hours, and some find it a bit too easy, but the puzzles and music keep most recommending it.
