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 charming, story-driven side-scrolling adventure through Slavic myth-inspired forests, blending exploration and light action with a cute pixel-art aesthetic.

What players say

Players describe a short, easy metroidvania with Slavic lore, but criticize unpolished controls, bugged achievements and map completion, mediocre art, and a developer who does not respond to reports.
