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, precise combat challenge where every move demands sharp timing and learning from failure.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, focused souls-like that strips the genre down to its combat, with parrying as the core mechanic. The boss fights get consistent praise, and most say it is well worth its low price, though the playtime leaves some wanting more.
