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.

Navigating a cursed island in VR, blending classic dungeon crawler pacing with rune-based magic casting and puzzle solving.

What players say

Players praise the rune-based magic system as the standout feature, with satisfying gesture controls and crunchy sound effects. Opinions split on other aspects: some enjoy the retro pixel art and open world, while others find the melee floaty, sound direction unreliable, and progression grindy. A few players encountered startup bugs on certain headsets.
