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, open-ended crafting and exploration game with a whimsical art style.

What players say

Players praise the unique alchemy system but are divided on whether the obtuse crafting interface and clunky inventory make it unapproachable. The story lasts 10 to 15 hours and feels incomplete, with many reporting quest-breaking bugs that went unfixed after 2024.
