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 lighthearted, absurdly comedic retro RPG where you play as a bumbling cosmic horror on a silly Christmas quest.

What players say

Players praise the humor and seasonal charm but are split on the combat, which some find monotonous and tanky even on easy. The game is very short and linear, with multiple reviewers noting it lacks the exploration or depth of the developer's earlier games.
