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 quick-play choose-your-own-adventure RPG where decisions shape branching, randomly generated medieval tales.

What players say

Players call it a digital choose-your-own-adventure book with short, replayable stories and multiple endings. The UI is rough, resolution support is poor, and writing can be awkward, but fans of gamebooks and light RPG progression enjoy the class flexibility and how items and choices carry between adventures.
