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 clunky but charming retro 2D RPG where you explore a large island continent at your own pace, fighting monsters and leveling up.

What players say

Players say this is a very old-school dungeon crawler in the Ultima tradition, with a huge world to explore but clunky controls and rough edges throughout. Some find it fun for the price, while others hit game-breaking bugs or find the grind unrewarding.
