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 brisk and unflinching retro action RPG that evokes the feel of classic Japanese PC titles with its 8-bit pixel art and simple but nuanced combat.

What players say

Players describe this as a modern take on Hydlide's bump combat, with a short but dense adventure around 3-4 hours. Many praise the position-based combat and old-school vibe, though some find the world map too large and the gameplay a bit grindy.
