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 brutal, lonely journey through a cold and desolate world, driven by fast-paced combat and a relentless drive forward.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist, hardcore action and satisfying parry mechanic, but warn that keyboard controls are janky and essential mechanics are never explained. The game is short with three chapters. Players split on the difficulty: some call it rewarding, others frustrating.
