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 deliberate, gesture-based sword combat RPG that feels like an old-school isometric dungeon crawl with a dark, atmospheric fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the open world and rewarding exploration, but frequently criticize the combat as stiff, dull, or janky. The difficulty curve is widely seen as unbalanced, demanding heavy grinding, and some wish for an easier mode.
