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 medieval fantasy action-RPG with deliberate, realistic sword fighting and a focus on immersive combat and dark storytelling.

What players say

Players praise the story as novel-like with twists, but criticize the barebones UI, lack of cutscenes, repetitive music, and high price for a short game made by one person. Combat is described as hard and satisfying, though some find the controls clunky and the combat repetitive.
