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 darkly funny action RPG with hand-drawn visuals, Romanian hip-hop, and procedurally changing levels, where you smash supernatural foes as a luckless blacksmith.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic folklore setting, rhyming dialogue, and outstanding soundtrack, but many find the combat repetitive and the difficulty uneven. Crafting and weapon durability systems feel incomplete to some. There are multiple endings and choices that matter, but the game can outstay its welcome.
