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 mobile, acrobatic Metroidvania where using a magic spear for combat and traversal feels smooth and responsive, with colorful hand-drawn visuals and a focus on unlocking new ways to move and attack.

What players say

Players appreciate the slavic mythology setting but are split on execution: many praise the unusual atmosphere and late-game payoff, while others report janky platforming, unclear hitboxes, progression-halting bugs, and tedious boss hunting.
