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 methodical 2D action-platformer with dark fantasy themes where you explore levels and upgrade stats in a souls-like manner.

What players say

Players are split on this indie souls-like. Many praise the tough but rewarding boss fights and addictive combat, while others criticize the short length, poor sound design, and limited settings menus. Some note it shows promise for a beginner developer, but call it an unfinished project rather than a full game.
