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 cooperative 2D action-adventure with a focus on teamwork, puzzle solving, and upgrading abilities, set in a hand-drawn fantasy world inspired by Nordic folklore.

What players say

Players praise the charming hand-drawn art and humor, but warn that combat can be tough with no parry and a slow hammer. The co-op mode is a standout, letting experienced and novice players enjoy it together. Some note motion sickness from the camera, and a few report the game does not launch on Windows 11.
