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, atmospheric action roguelike where you explore a cursed fantasy world, hack and slash through dungeons, and make choices while gods offer aid and the Alchemist hinders you.

What players say

Players describe a fast-paced roguelike with satisfying combat variety through skills and runes, but note the game is buggy and content-light even by early access standards. Enthusiasts appreciate the developer's active patching and see promise, while some compare it positively to Risk of Rain.
