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 quiet woodland life with a pet pig is pulled into a strange, corporate-tinged adventure involving hungry townsfolk and a giant mushroom.

What players say

Players praise the charming story, funny dialogue, and art but split on the timed combo combat. Some find it engaging, others tedious or too reflex-heavy, though accessibility options let you slow or disable it. It is a short, well-polished experience comparable to Earthbound or Undertale.
