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.

About

You must keep advancing and save the world.In One Way Heroics, if the player moves or attacks enemies will do the same. In essence, it is a rogue-like game. To clear the game, you must defeat the Demon Lord, who will appear after a set time.One round is around 30 minutes play time, and some parts of your legend carry over into the next round. See if you can overcome the challenges of this one way adventure.
