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 grim and punishing side-scrolling action RPG where precise combat explores a decaying, story-rich dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise its art and voice acting, calling it a solid soulsvania with tight combat and a strong story. Many note it is easier than most soulslikes. Reviews split on endgame pacing and some find minibosses repetitive. The game lacks dual-wielding and some skill trees feel locked behind level gates.
