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 deliberate, story-driven first-person action-adventure through a dark fantasy world with Metroidvania-style exploration and light RPG elements.

What players say

Players praise the graphics but say combat is unbalanced, resources like arrows and mana are too scarce, and there is no map for exploration. Many find the game repetitive, with endless arenas and puzzles, and note that auto-saves punish death heavily. A few enjoy the challenge and compare it to Dark Messiah, but most recommend skipping it even on sale.
