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

You face relentless enemies and punishing attacks in a grim medieval realm, piecing together a deep, dark story through pixel art and tough platforming battles.

What players say

Players praise the art style and story, but split on combat balance. Many report performance problems and bugs, especially on low-end PCs and Steam Deck. The game is boss-heavy with tight parry windows, and updates have addressed some early issues like missing controller support.
