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

Exploring and fighting through a crumbling gothic castle wielding a flame that lights the darkness, solving puzzles and platforming with adaptive difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the art style and music but are sharply divided on polish and gameplay. Many report game-breaking bugs, input lag, and frustratingly floaty combat, while others appreciate the risk-reward ignition meter and 2.5D exploration.
