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

Flying through ancient ruins while using god-given powers to solve puzzles and battle mythical creatures feels like a mythic, flowing adventure with light tactical adjustments.

What players say

Players praise the Greek mythology setting and glide-based platforming as a relaxed change of pace, with forgiving controls suitable for playing with kids. However, many warn about a deeply broken save system: autosaves are rare and quitting a level resets progress to the start, forcing completion in one sitting. There is no manual save.
