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 nostalgic, grindy 90s-style RPG with gradual progression and an ever-present threat of stronger enemies as you linger in an area.

What players say

Players enjoy the retro RPG mechanics and upgrade systems, but nearly all report save-erasing and progression-stopping bugs. Many say the developer left the game unfinished with no updates after leaving early access through 2024.
