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.

What players say

Players praise the villain-school premise and humor, but many find the stat system confusing and unrewarding. The characters are widely called flat and forgettable, and choices often feel like they don't lead where expected. Some players appreciate the replayability, while others think the story is too short and railroaded.
