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 gentle, unhurried adventure through a retro-styled world with farming and dungeon crawling, feeling like a modest throwback.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly recommend this for the nostalgia of a classic Flash RPG, but many note the short 30-minute to 3-hour playtime and changes like moving from arrow to WASD controls, removing the open world, and failing to add the mysterious house from the original. Some feel the updates are incomplete and the soundtrack changed.
