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 blend of strategic RPG combat and neon-drenched 80s nostalgia, with a deep magic system and a pulsing synth soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the neon 80s aesthetic but consistently criticize the lack of controller support and rebindable keys, alongside an unfair difficulty spike that makes progression feel artificial. Bugs remain unfixed, and while some see a heartfelt indie project, others find the combat chaotic and the gameplay shallow.
