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 2D sandbox action-RPG focused on exploring biomes, crafting, building, and boss fights.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, but nearly everything else frustrates them. The UI is broken, menus lack basic keyboard shortcuts, and tool upgrades force a slow minigame. Some find the game unplayably rough, calling it unfinished.
