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 surreal, minimalist journey through a psychedelic wasteland, blending turn-based combat with playful mini-games.

What players say

Players praise the fun timing-based combat and unique pixel art, but most agree the game is unfinished with rampant bugs, missing sound effects, and an almost unreadable translation. Opinions split on whether the charm outweighs the rough state.
