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 game's unique Slavic mythology setting and heartfelt story, though some find the repeated walking between bonfires tedious. The puzzles are easy, the world is beautiful for an indie title, and the game takes roughly 6–10 hours to complete. A few reviewers note bugs or an unfinished story arc.
