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 nostalgic and slow-paced adventure where you gather, craft, fight, and explore a village and its secrets.

What players say

Players split on this cheap RPG maker title. Some praise the fishing and low price, but most point to a lack of story, repetitive farming, impossibly tough early battles, and a short 5-hour playthrough. The fishing minigame is often called frustrating and poorly explained.
