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 2D action RPG with satisfying combos and punishing difficulty, set in a dark fantasy world of gods and knights.

What players say

Players praise the Vanillaware-style art and skill tree but are split on the game: many say combat feels floaty and unresponsive, enemy health bloats in the late game, and reskinned enemies and bosses grow tiresome. A common complaint is that achieving the true ending requires ignoring quests, forcing a second playthrough.
