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 challenging pixel-art metroidvania where a lone knight fights through a monster-infested kingdom in a dark, retro-style adventure.

What players say
Players praise the tight controls and rewarding exploration, but are split on the difficulty. Some love the challenge and frequent checkpoints, while others find instant-death spikes and save point placement frustrating. The game is seen as a solid but early work from a developer who later refined the formula with Astalon.
