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, old-school tactical RPG where you navigate a bleak fantasy world through turn-based combat and weighty choices, all wrapped in an authentic 8-bit aesthetic.

What players say
Players praise the oppressive Lovecraftian atmosphere and strong writing, but are divided on the deliberately retro pixel art, which some find beautiful and others too blurry to read. Combat starts punishing but becomes manageable, and the game is short, tight, and easy to finish.
