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, no-hand-holding action RPG with retro 8-bit aesthetics and a dark fantasy world to explore freely, rewarding player-driven discovery and monster shifting.

What players say

Players praise the possession mechanic that lets them turn into defeated enemies, calling it a fun twist on the Hydlide-style bump combat. They say the game is short and minimalistic, with a dark atmosphere, but can be frustratingly unclear early on.
