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 breezy, accessible hand-drawn action game with simple controls that lets you unleash rapid-fire attack combos without memorizing moves.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn comic art and the fresh nine-key input that lets them improvise combos, with most saying keyboard feels better than gamepad. The standout is the transformation system that turns low health into a comeback mechanic. Reviews split on the story's fantasy shift and pacing, and many find early combat stiff and tough until they remember to spend skill points.
