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 breezy, cozy action-adventure across a small island, mixing light combat and exploration with a cheerful fantasy tone.

What players say

Players call it a short, sweet homage to the Game Boy Color Zelda games, completable in about an hour. Everyone agrees it respects your time with tight pacing, though some find the dungeons too easy and the boss fights trivial without item puzzles. A few note broken controller and keyboard controls.
