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

You replay the same day to solve a murder and prevent a cataclysm, balancing fast-paced sword fights with detective work in a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the time loop concept and visual style but are split on combat depth and controls. The game is short, around 10 hours, and some find the platforming frustrating or the ending unsatisfying. Mouse and keyboard controls feel incomplete, prompting a controller recommendation.
