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.

A fast-paced, hand-drawn adventure where you dash through a dark fantasy world, battling mythical creatures and unlocking elemental powers at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the Bulgarian folklore themes, hand-drawn art, and soundtrack, but note the game launched with janky controls, missing polish, and bugs. The solo developer has been patching actively and promises free DLC. Reviews split: some enjoy the boss fights and exploration, others find the difficulty and input issues frustrating.
