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 short, deliberate action game where you carefully block and attack dragons with sword and shield, relying on defensive play.

What players say

Players call it a short boss rush with beautiful pixel art and animations, but opinions split on the gameplay. Some enjoy the simple attack, guard, and heal loop, while others find the lack of a jump and sluggish controls frustrating. The base game is easy, around one hour, but the post-game double boss fights spike the difficulty sharply.
