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 lovingly crafted homage to 8-bit JRPGs, focusing on a classic quest narrative with a fresh twist and vibrant pixel art.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, nostalgic NES-style JRPG that delivers a straightforward experience without grinding. The rock-paper-scissors damage system and color-coded classes divide players, with some finding combat shallow while others appreciate the approachability. The story is simple but endearing, though some note technical limitations from being an RPG Maker title.
