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

You guide a lost soul and a young woman through crumbling ruins, using careful spells and weapons in a tactical, grim fight against fate.

What players say

Players are enthusiastic about the low price and the multiplayer mode, but solo play feels repetitive with a turtling strategy and no save function, making progress frustrating.
