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

Running through desert ruins, rhythmically throwing spears of light at shadow creatures with linier but satisfying combat.

What players say

Players say this is a short but surprisingly tough action game where the sun spear mechanic, throwing, recalling, and timing an explosion, is the highlight, though technical issues and a generic story hold it back.
