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 fast-paced roguelike hack-and-slash adventure with cartoony visuals and punishing permadeath, where you explore procedurally generated levels as Arthur on a quest to rebuild Excalibur.

What players say

Players compare it to a lighter Hades and appreciate the smooth combat and funny story, but many find the fighting repetitive and the progression grindy. Opinions split on the building mechanics, with some feeling they distract from the action.
