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 text-based interactive novel where your choices shape a war-torn fantasy realm, driven by reading and imagination rather than graphics or sound.

What players say

Players compare it to Dragon Age: Origins for its party dynamics and branching choices, but opinions are split on how much freedom you actually get. The spy path for the queen feels especially railroaded and contradictory, while other routes reward replaying. Some report technical bugs early on, and portraits are a minor complaint.
