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

Playing feels like revisiting a familiar fairy tale that gently subverts its own clichés with a wink.

What players say

Players praise this as a short, well-balanced RPG that pays loving tribute to Dragon Quest, with a story that starts familiar but takes surprising turns. The writing is consistently described as charming and funny, though some note the game is on the easy side and wish for better guidance on collectibles.
