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 descend into a crumbling, fog-choked well, methodically exploring eerie ruins and catacombs with a lonely, retro action-RPG feel.

What players say

Players love the exploration and atmosphere, but opinions split on the combat. Many find it slow and repetitive, and boss design is widely criticized as damage-spongy and janky. Late-game postgame content is often described as nearly impossible without a guide.
