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 fast and focused first-person platformer about racing through magical dungeons with precise jumping and speedrunning.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the spell-based speedrunning and leaderboards, while others say the game feels abandoned and incomplete. A couple report bugs with spells not loading. The tether spell is unintuitive at first.
