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 top-down action RPG with cartoony pixel art and twin-stick shooting, blending bullet-hell challenges with a story-driven quest for memory and friends.

What players say

Players praise the witty and absurd dialogue, often comparing it to Earthbound, and enjoy the cute pixel art. Combat is easy against normal enemies, but boss fights are surprisingly tough and rewarding. The game encourages exploration with optional characters and dialogue, creating a heartfelt and humorous story.
