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 methodical, linear action RPG where you track a dark force across the land, crafting gear and using ancient weapons and spells to save a crumbling kingdom.

What players say

Players praise the retro SNES-style action RPG and its familiar mix of fishing, crafting, and cooking. The game forces keyboard-only controls with no rebinding, and controller support is absent, which splits players. Some found the ending anticlimactic after dozens of hours.
