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 relentless and dark action-adventure where you fight as a lone ninja, combining strategic swordplay and magic to survive and seek revenge.

What players say

Players recommend this as a deliberately retro-styled janky action game, comparing it to Prince of Persia and early 2000s martial arts titles. It is short, about five hours, and challenging, with some bosses causing frustration from unfair difficulty and invisible hitboxes. Audio is widely criticized as poor or compressed, and performance drops occur in some levels.
