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 nostalgic, retro-infused 3D action-adventure with nonlinear exploration, challenging dungeons, and a focus on upgrading gear and sidequests.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, condensed Ocarina-of-Time-like experience that nails the N64 aesthetic. The combat is fun initially but can feel janky, and the parry timing takes getting used to. The story is simple and the game is small, but it has secrets and a relaxing vibe.
