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 darkly comedic turn-based strategy where you manage a cult's resources and followers while navigating a dangerous world.

What players say

Players praise the original art and atmospheric music, but find the point-and-click gameplay repetitive across runs and say events unfold in a similar order. The lore is surprisingly deep, though the game still feels like it needs refinement.
