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 quirky, hand-drawn interactive story where you poke through a strange sci-fi world, make oddball choices, and laugh at the absurdity while managing loot and turn-based scraps.

What players say

Players praise its bizarre humor and creativity, calling it a text-driven point-and-click RPG with turn-based combat. They note the fun of experimenting with item and ally combos, though it is short and requires multiple playthroughs to see all endings. Some mention difficulty spikes and inventory management annoyances, while others find it easy. Long-time players note the developer has shut down.
