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 tense and atmospheric action RPG where methodical combat, loot management, and deliberate exploration are punctuated by a sense of vulnerability and the constant need to survive against powerful foes.

What players say

Players praise the responsive solo developer and the unique warp mechanic. However, they also warn about the lack of a map and save system in dungeons, which forces restarts, and note that progression can feel grindy and linear without outdoor areas.
