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 dark fantasy action-adventure with hand-drawn pixel art, focused on combat and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the combat, especially the three stances and boss fights, but note the game is very short, around 1 to 3 hours, and linear rather than a true metroidvania. Some mention controller support and the inability to rebind keys as issues. Reviews split on whether the small buggy package feels underwhelming or is a good value given its price and solo development.
