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 low-pressure adventure where you wander a small village at your own pace, uncovering low-key secrets without urgency or danger.

What players say

Players praise it as a short, combat-light adventure with exploration and puzzles, finishing in a few hours. It offers multiple endings depending on how much you complete before turning in the core quest. Some find the later game involves aimless wandering and obscure interactions, like pixel-hunting for upgrades.
