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

You play as a defiant spirit relentlessly pushing through a bleak, non-linear stronghold in fast, skill-based combat, driven by a singular purpose.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, pixel art, and boss fights, but split on combat feel. Some find the controls clunky and dodging unfun, while others enjoy the stamina-based challenge. Save points are too rare and there is no pause option, which frustrates many. The game is short at about five hours.
