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 lonely, deliberate medieval combat game where you explore a ruined fantasy world as an undead knight, mixing swordplay and magic with a heavy, oppressive tone.

What players say

Players compare it to Morrowind and King's Field but call it a short, unfinished prototype you can beat in under an hour. There are no levels, armor, or skills, and enemies cannot hit you if you walk backwards. The developer fixed achievements when asked, but long-time players say no updates have come in over a year.
