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 punishing retro side-scroller with a dark gothic atmosphere and deliberate Souls-like combat.

What players say

Players say this is a historically grounded, non-vampire take on Vlad the Impaler that plays like a challenging retro action-platformer. They praise the varied characters and pixel art but warn that the movement feels slippery, and the difficulty may frustrate those not ready for old-school punishment. A few report performance issues on older GPUs.
