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

Navigating a sprawling, interconnected palace, uncovering environmental lore and facing threats in a semi-open world with a heavy, ominous mood.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the atmosphere and metroidvania exploration, others find the combat clunky and progression tedious. The game's isometric view and stamina-based combat draw comparisons to earlier Skautfold entries, while criticism focuses on confusing maps and lack of direction.
