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 brisk, action-driven adventure where you take on enemies with straightforward combat.

What players say

Players praise the fluid, parry-focused combat and unique rotoscoped art, comparing it to 2D Sekiro. It is a compact metroidvania with more emphasis on combat than exploration, though some find bosses mixed and a few report cooperative mode kicks players on death.
