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 gentle, slice-of-life pixel art fantasy where you wander a kingdom, chat with locals, accept small quests, and enjoy a celebratory tone that builds to a birthday surprise.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short RPG Maker game with basic mechanics, suitable for newcomers. Some report bugs that caused softlocks, and a few argue it feels more like a demo than a full game.
