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 quirky, story-driven sci-fi RPG with turn-based battles, puzzles, and a comedic tone.

What players say
Players praise the humor and worldbuilding, but consistently warn that the game requires fan-made patches to run properly, and even then combat is tedious and the story feels unfinished.
