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.

A retro-styled fishing game where calm casting shifts into tense turn-based battles against grotesque sea creatures.

What players say

Players praise the creative use of RPG Maker's battle system for fishing and the mix of cute and creepy visuals. Several note the developer responds quickly to feedback, but one review criticizes the use of AI-generated assets instead of hand-drawn or stock art.
