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 turn-based tactical RPG with a darkly mature story told with comedic relief, challenging combat, and player-driven narrative choices.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever rock-paper-scissors tactical twist and the cute, funny characters, but call the combat repetitive and the medieval fantasy art underwhelming for a game about living stationery. Some find the pacing too slow for the price.
