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 cooperative action RPG focused on character building and loot progression with flexible playstyles.

What players say

Players love the co-op chaos and old-school grind, but say co-op cutscenes play for everyone and must be skipped individually. Many call it charmingly janky, though some report broken achievements and the game feels abandoned.
