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 text-driven adventure where AI generates every location and encounter, creating a constantly shifting but measured strategic experience.

What players say

Players say the AI does a decent job generating stories, but the game takes away player control, the AI decides actions you ruled out, and you cannot manually define classes or lore. There is a paid AI subscription for faster responses and image generation, which some find misleading. The game is praised for letting you craft any world, though NPC conversations are buggy and inconsistent.
