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 pixelated journey through a classic fantasy world, with methodical turn-based combat and a slow, deliberate pace of exploration.

What players say

Players call this a near shot-for-shot homage to early Dragon Quest games, built in RPG Maker. The pacing is praised after the first few hours, but many warn of brutal difficulty with no save anywhere and full progress loss on death. The walking speed is very slow and there is no run button. A non-fan warns it is only for the nostalgic niche.
