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 relaxing, whimsical exploration of floating islands that becomes tense and challenging when dangerous creatures and bandits appear.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a charming, relaxing adventure with funny cutscenes and a Tunic or Zelda vibe, while others report game-breaking bugs, softlocks, and an unbeatable state. Many note it is rough around the edges and feels like an early mobile port.
