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 methodically crafted, old-school pixel-art RPG that feels like a solo dev's labor of love, blending tactical turn-based combat with a whimsical tone and deep lore.

What players say
Players praise the exploration and worldbuilding but split on the grind. Combat uses a train-through-use skill system that some find tedious, and the resistance system forces gear swaps. Many note it is a solo dev project with solid writing and secrets to find, though bugs and an excess of late-game fights are common complaints.
