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 quick, frantic arcade-style dungeon crawler with a dark fantasy atmosphere and punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the unique collapsing-world concept and variety of characters, but many find combat slow and basic, with crashes and poor balance. Opinions split: some enjoy the casual hack and slash, others call it an unfinished demo not worth full price.
