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 classic sci-fi adventure where you piece together a personal story through challenging exploration and combat that adapts to your chosen playstyle.

What players say

Players are split: many call it a solid, fun metroidvania that wears its Hollow Knight influence proudly, but just as many complain about frustrating exploration, unclear gating, and a augment system that feels limiting rather than empowering. The game leans more toward classic Metroid than Castlevania, with movement tech that is unintuitive and easily broken.
