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 vast retro-styled RPG that feels like a sprawling dungeon-crawling adventure with a focus on exploration, loot, and cooperative play.

What players say

Players call this a simple but addictive old-school RPG held back by repetitive dungeons and unbalanced monster evolution. The first-person view feels tacked on, and the mini-games like Fishing Survivors and a card game are often seen as more engaging than the main combat. While fun for co-op, solo progress can feel grindy with poor material drops.
