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 punishing souls-like action-RPG with a satirical, darkly funny tone, where you fight through a nostalgic pixelated world that's literally falling apart around you.

What players say

Players describe a charming souls-like with a humorous stick-figure protagonist and Dark Souls 1 influences. The combat is widely criticized as clunky with poor hit detection, especially against groups, and the game is buggy. Opinions split on whether the humor and short 10-15 hour runtime outweigh the technical flaws.
