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.

What players say

Players are wowed by the game's 2.5D pixel art and lighting, calling it one of the most visually impressive games in years. The combat is described as a satisfying, flowy freeflow system, but many say the gameplay feels repetitive, padded with long corridors and fetch quests, and some find the controls clunky or the platforming awkward.
