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 playful, lighthearted romp through a colorful retro world with zippy, accessible combat that keeps you moving forward without grinding.

What players say

Players describe this as a chaotic short RPG where turn-based combat is mixed with WarioWare-style minigames. The soundtrack and humor are consistently praised, though the controls can be tricky and the game gets tougher toward the end.
