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 modest survival RPG where you manage hunger, farm, and craft while evolving through animal forms in a low-fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the monster reincarnation system as a unique take on isekai, but many cite game-breaking bugs, a punishing hunger grind, and poor English localization as dealbreakers. Opinions are split: some see a diamond in the rough with Dark Souls-like difficulty, while others dismiss it as a low-effort RPG Maker flip.
