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 dark isometric RPG where you play a demon devouring souls of council members while navigating a story-rich, atmospheric world with real-time combat and puzzles.

What players say

Players call it a decent but unpolished Diablo-like with a novel demon-puppet mechanic and world switching. Combat feels clunky, puzzles frustrate, and the story has merit, but many say the game drags and loses steam. Performance on PC is praised over console.
