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

An authentic 8-bit dungeon crawler RPG that feels like a nostalgic journey through a retro adventure, driven by courage and mystery.

What players say

Players call it a short, grindy dungeon crawler that blends Wizardry with early Final Fantasy. They praise the class and job system but warn about money starvation, minimal story, and a lack of enemy targeting. Some say performance can be tough on harder difficulties, and the ending feels underwhelming.
