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

You guide a young girl through a perilous realm, navigating randomly generated loot and a story-driven quest to cure her grandmother.

What players say

Players say it is a short, linear RPG Maker title with easy combat and randomized loot, but the cost of gold to save and a bug where the game stays running in Steam frustrate many. A few find it a light, pleasant distraction, while others call it an amateurish asset flip.
