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 fast, punishing action-RPG with pixel-art charm that combines random dungeon runs with a slowly unraveling story and a surprising number of hats.

What players say

Players are split on Wayward Souls. Some praise its deliberate combat and distinct character stories, while many others describe a grinding wall around the third dungeon and upgrades that barely help. The game has not been updated in years, and some report visual bugs that break text.
