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 classic, story-driven adventure with retro pixel art and chiptunes, casual exploration and turn-based tactical combat.

What players say

Players praise the job and growth plate system but say the game requires heavy grinding to use it. The story and dialogue get positive mentions, and the retro presentation is well liked, though some find the combat shallow. A few note a lottery item bug and say it is a step back from earlier Kemco entries.
