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 lighthearted, old-school dungeon crawler with comedic banter and turn-based combat, feeling like a playful parody of serious RPGs.

What players say

Players praise the humorous writing and old-school dungeon crawling, but opinions split on the dated graphics and random encounters. The drama star system prevents save scumming but some find it frustrating. Combat relies on resource management and tactics over brute force.
