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 tense action RPG that combines exploration and combat in a high-risk atmosphere.

What players say

Players say the climbing is the core of a short 90-120 minute run, but autosave bugs can force a replay. The story is unclear, controls feel unresponsive at times, and sound design can be grating. Multiple characters and endings add variety, but the experience is held back by jank.
