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 methodical strategy RPG where players investigate a plague-ridden medieval barony, balancing cautious exploration with tactical decision-making against an uncertain supernatural threat.

What players say

Players are split on this early access demo, with many citing confusing mechanics, a poor tutorial, and clunky UI as major barriers. Some enjoy the concept and art style, but bugs, random spawns, and unclear resource management frustrate others.
