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 deliberate, oppressive journey through a crumbling dark fantasy world where every step demands caution and mastery is earned through repeated failure.

What players say

Players praise the astonishingly interconnected world and the sense of discovery from its no-handholding design. They note janky hitboxes, unfinished late-game areas, and punishing boss runbacks, but most find the challenge rewarding rather than just frustrating.
