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 solemn, pixelated journey through a blighted kingdom where you slowly restore life by fighting monsters and rebuilding structures.

What players say

Players say Kingsgrave is a short, casual action-adventure that can be completed in under ten hours. The puzzles are simple, the combat is basic, and the story is minimal. Opinions split on its value: some find it a decent way to kill a few evenings, while others consider it shallow and grindy, with an ending that underwhelms.
