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 tense, strategic action RPG where you methodically manage a squad of undead in a grim medieval world, balancing resource acquisition with punishing combat.

What players say

Players praise the unique corpse management and parry-focused combat, but many find the progression grindy and boss stats unfair. Long-time players report development stalled after early updates.
