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, deliberate dungeon crawl where two mismatched allies must cooperate through turn-based combat to survive a dark fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the writing for its deep examination of hatred and the ending, but are split on the artstyle, calling it ugly or evocative. The RPG Maker feel is common, with some calling the combat nothing special while others find it finely tuned. Expect about 20 floors and a playthrough that takes an afternoon.
