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 pixel-art action RPG with tweakable difficulty, quick saves, and a focus on fast movement and combat.

What players say

Players praise the music and retro aesthetic but are split on the difficulty: some find it manageable with strategy, while others call the platforming and ladder placement deliberately frustrating. Complaints about no control rebinding and a combo system that feels irrelevant are common.
