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 tense descent into cursed dungeons where every shadow hides danger and each choice feels consequential.

What players say

Players praise the clean visuals and music, but nearly all agree the early access version offers very little content, with only three biomes and three weapons. Some call it more of a tech demo than a full game, and opinion splits on whether the price is justified. The dodge-based combat works well, but runs end quickly and progression feels flat.
