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 fast-paced arcade adventure where you guide a hooded hero through ancient Egyptian temples, dodging traps and fighting enemies with a magical staff.

What players say

Players say Theofil feels unfinished and rough, with issues like no intro or tutorial and broken sound. The game ends after one chapter, and while a few find it passable on sale, most call it a clunky student project not worth the price.
