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 lighthearted top-down adventure where you solve puzzles and fight foes as a knight on a whimsical food-themed quest.

What players say

Players call it a charming, bite-sized Zelda-like with a Kirby-style inhale mechanic. It is very short, around 30-40 minutes, and has multiple endings. Some find the combat stiff and the experience fleeting, but it wins players over with its charm.
