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 compact retro-styled Souls-like with precise parry-focused combat and a contemplative Daoist atmosphere

What players say

Players call it a janky but enjoyable souls-like with a decent boxy map and clear inspiration from Bloodborne and Dark Souls. They praise the weapon system and the ability to combine swords mid-combo, but warn about technical issues like stuttering, invisible enemies, and harsh boss explosions. Most agree you get what you pay for at its low price point.
