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 visually immersive cinematic novel that feels like reading a beautifully illustrated fantasy book, with a calm yet engaging story and a charming cast.

What players say

Players praise the world-building and character-driven story, but nearly all warn that this is an unfinished series that the developer has essentially abandoned over 12 years. Fans note it is a kinetic novel with no choices, and many say it cannot be recommended as a standalone experience. Recent reviews also cite the developers' shift to AI-generated art and NFTs.
