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 tactical hack-and-slash RPG set in mythical Greece, blending exploration and deity-driven competition with thoughtful pacing and atmospheric environments.

What players say

Players split sharply. Some love the old-school Greek mythology RPG, praising the atmosphere and relaxing tab-target combat. Others call it clunky, buggy, grindy, and one of the worst RPGs they have played. The game autosaves only once and manual saves require finding a campfire, which many find frustrating.
