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 dark fantasy action RPG where deliberate real-time combat and strategic character progression create a tense, rewarding feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a tactical real-time RPG where you play a dark knight who fights using spells and abilities, not sword swings. The rage mechanic and pet summons are highlights, and combat requires cycling through abilities to manage multi-monster encounters. Some appreciate the built-in map editor.
