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 tense, Lovecraftian tactical RPG where battles feel like a slow, deliberate duel of timing and resource management, rewarding cautious defensive play.

What players say

Players split on this final entry in the Skautfold series. It switches to a timeline turn-based system with rock-paper-scissor attacks and QTE timing, which some find fun once learned but others call frustrating and unbalanced. The combat has no tutorial and the game takes 6 to 10 hours with little replay value.
