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 gritty, tactical dungeon crawler where careful party management and turn-based combat create a tense, old-school fantasy experience.

What players say

Players say this sequel to The Curse of Feldar Vale is more of the same good thing, with a bigger world and improved graphics. The tactical combat requires careful use of height and positioning, and party import is a highlight. Some find the gameplay slow and the story a thin reason to continue.
