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

You control a ragtag group of utterly incompetent villagers armed with sticks as they fumble through a comically hopeless quest against an overpowering foe.

What players say

Players praise the charming humor and chaotic party combat but warn that the game is unpolished: the UI blocks part of the screen, the world feels too large for backtracking, and permadeath coupled with grinding pushes many to switch to easy mode.
