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 mysterious and atmospheric indie RPG with a narrative-driven feel.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric art and music, but many find the writing clumsy and story rushed within its short 3-5 hour runtime. Opinions split on the narrative: some enjoy the folklore theme, others call it bland and note contradictions. The UI draws criticism for lagging menus and unclear text presentation.
