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 bleak, slow-paced tactical RPG where every move feels costly as you lead a desperate band through a doomed world.

What players say

Players praise Bonfire for being unusually polished for Early Access, with short 5-10 minute sessions and combat that feels like a streamlined Darkest Dungeon. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it too easy on normal and brutally hard on high, while others call it tense. Common criticisms include slow, unskippable dialog, limited party composition, and a tedious food system.
