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 faster-paced action RPG where you explore a medieval world, fight enemies and bosses, and rescue animals by gathering plants and completing quests.

What players say

Players agree the game is janky with clunky combat and movement. There is no waypoint system, so quests are hard to track across many islands and dying can send you far away. The narrator is described as flat and robotic. Performance lag and long travel times also frustrate, though a few find the premise charming enough for short sessions.
