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 hand-drawn Metroidvania with Souls-like combat and a dark fantasy story that lets players manipulate reality through dreamlike hallucinations.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the music, checkpoint system, and hidden lore, while others report game-breaking controller bugs, clunky platforming, and an over-reliance on lengthy text exposition. The combat offers many skills, but the difficulty can be punishing.
