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

Exploring a procedurally generated medieval forest, searching for gnomes while uncovering a doomed world's story feels like a solitary, atmospheric journey with low-pressure, narrative-driven pacing.

What players say

Players are split: some love the absurd humor, kicking gnomes to music, while others hit a permanent autowalk bug. The pixel art and voice work are praised, but the gameplay itself is called a chore.
