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-driven choose-your-own-adventure where your decisions and dice rolls shape a personal mystery story.

What players say

players enjoy the longer story and multiple paths with three companion choices, though the dice combat feels luck-based and some get stuck at the final fight.
