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 hectic, loot-driven dungeon romp for up to four players that feels like a frantic 2D brawler with roguelike randomness and a lighthearted tone.

What players say

Players are divided on Son of a Witch. Many enjoy it as a fun, challenging co-op roguelike with variety across classes and runs, especially with friends. However, others criticize the lack of mid-run saving in long sessions and a cumbersome inventory system that requires scrolling through up to 30 items. The game is often compared to a lesser Castle Crashers.
