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 comedic, retro RPG with turn-based combat and pixel graphics, set in a post-apocalyptic undead world but feels lighthearted and playful rather than scary.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful remake of a short 2010 parody RPG, with SNES-style art and a quick 4-6 hour runtime. However, some report bugs with multi-hit abilities and find the combat too simple. Opinions on the humor are divided, with some calling it goofy and others finding it charming.
