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 third-person fantasy action RPG with souls-like combat and exploration across colorful, varied regions, best played with friends.

What players say

Players report that the game was abandoned by its developers shortly after release, with no further updates or bug fixes. The English translation is poor, the world feels empty, and combat has a harsh difficulty spike that heavily penalizes solo players. A few find fun co-op and charming visuals, but most call it a rough, unfinished experience.
