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 straightforward fantasy action-adventure where you fight through a world gripped by a fresh war against non-humans.

What players say

Players call it a janky but large metroidvania with hand drawn art and satisfying exploration, often comparing it to Blasphemous. Common complaints are contact damage, enemies respawning when you re-enter a room and a nearly useless map with few placeable markers. Some hit game-breaking bugs that locked their save files.
