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

What players say

Players praise its old-school design and unique desert-fantasy aesthetic, but warn that checkpoints become scarce later and the second half feels emptier with fewer NPCs. Opinions vary on whether the difficulty and lack of guidance are charming or frustrating.
