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 quirky puzzle-RPG where you must outwit the final boss from the very start using clever solutions instead of brute force.

About

The story begins with a battle with the Demon King, the final boss! However, the hero is only "Level 1" so there's no way he can win!
