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.

What players say

Players praise the skill system where you improve by using skills, and find the game worth the price even in early access. Many compare it favorably to Stoneshard and Caves of Qud, noting a hard start that opens up. Development is described as steady with frequent updates, but reviewers also report repetitive non-story quests and an unfinished main plot.
