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 weighty, prophecy-laden action RPG where you dodge and chain combat arts while deciding whether to serve the gods or embrace Death.

What players say

Players consistently praise this solo-developed soulslike for its copied attack combat system, where you learn enemy moves and chain them into combos, and for its boss fights and handmade soundtrack. Many note there is no character stat leveling, only power upgrades, which keeps difficulty balanced. The main complaints are animation locking with no dodge cancel and some frame dips.
