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 tactical fantasy RPG that feels like a shared tabletop session, where the turn-based combat and player-driven dialogue create a sense of cooperative strategy and cautious tension.

What players say

Players loved the concept but call the game dead and unplayable because the required mobile controller app was pulled from app stores and is no longer supported. Some warn Steam still sells it without a working way to play.
