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 grim, desperate fight against overwhelming demonic forces with the constant weight of annihilation looming over every decision.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, the depth of build crafting, and the tactical time-based combat where skills use cooldowns that demand timing. They split on content, some say the campaign runs dry once quests are done, and enemies do not respawn, while others find the loop addictive. Combat can spike hard, with one unblockable attack that players report sometimes whiffs anyway.
