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 tactical RPG that feels like a comedic, self-aware take on genre clichés, with strategic party-based combat and a satirical story.

What players say

Players are split on this satirical tactics game. Some enjoy the silly parody humor and find the short campaign a fun distraction, while many others report game-breaking bugs, a terrible camera, constant crashes on Windows 10 and 11, and a launcher that spams script error messages before you can even play.
