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 beat 'em up where you fight skeletons and vampires while reciting prayers and using holy items to cleanse a village.

What players say

Players praise the grim atmosphere and unique combat that forces quick weapon switching against varied enemies, though some find the controls sluggish and the keybindings locked. The game is a love letter to Gogol's Viy mixed with Souls-like boss fights, but several reviews note it is not for the impatient.
