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 brisk, theatrical blend of wordplay and turn-based combat that feels like performing a witty, tragic romance on a stage.

What players say

Players praise the story and letter-writing system but widely criticize the poor combat balance, which feels misaligned and can lead to unwinnable states. The game is very short, around 30 to 60 minutes, and opinions split on whether the combat adds or detracts.
