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 dramatic, story-driven action RPG that feels like a mythological adventure with deliberate hack-and-slash combat and a moody, serious tone.

What players say

Players praise the Greek mythology story and the way dialog choices reward different skill trees, but they split on the combat: some call it bland or broken with enemies sliding away, while others enjoy it. The game is delisted, and it has stability problems on modern hardware.
