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 but tense medical simulation where you balance treating demons while carefully checking prescriptions under time pressure.

What players say

Players compare it to Papers Please with a hellish pharmacy twist, praising the art and story but calling it fun and very buggy. Many struggle with the eye-cracking minigame and find the calendar and grading system broken, while the timer feels too fast to finish dialogue.
