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 classic pixel-art RPG with turn-based combat and a party system, focusing on methodical storytelling and character-driven adventure.

What players say

Players say the game is short and uses premade maps from other RPGMaker titles, with a generic story and basic characters. The party constantly switches between pairs early on, which some find confusing, but the final fight lets you use all six members.
