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 blend of dating sim and hack-and-slash action set in a stylized, emotional post-apocalyptic world where you fight monsters and build relationships.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters for their emotional impact, but they consistently note the combat is janky and repetitive. The game is short, around 10 hours, and opinions split on whether it is a charming indie experience or too pricey for its length and polish.
