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 slow, dice-driven strategy RPG where managing resources and random events feels deliberate and tactical.

What players say

Players praise the amount of content for a solo project, but are split on whether it is worth playing because the UI is ugly, the tutorial dumps everything at once, and development appears to have stalled by 2021 with no further updates.
