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 fast-paced dungeon crawler where frantic slashing and rolling are constantly interrupted by moral choices that feel weighty and unpredictable.

What players say
Players praise the music and art style, but opinions on controls are split: some enjoy the responsive keyboard setup and speedrunning potential, while others find the lack of controller support, limited key rebinding, and unintuitive default controls (like attacking with tab) frustrating. The game is short and challenging, with no tutorial to explain mechanics.
