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 short, story-driven RPG with a slow, atmospheric build-up as you explore ruins and uncover secrets together.

What players say

Players appreciate the Lovecraftian story and worldbuilding, with hidden details rewarding exploration. The combat is fast and challenging from the start. Most finish in around 2.5 hours, and while some find the graphics plain, others welcome the departure from pixel art.
