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 strategic, real-time brawler where you control a trio of legendary heroes through a dark, storybook-inspired world.

What players say

Players praise the dark fairy tale premise and voice narration but are split on execution. Many find the controls unresponsive and simplistic, while others enjoy the casual party-based combat. A progression-blocking bug in Chapter 4 is repeatedly reported, and the lack of any loot management like selling or crafting frustrates long-time players.
