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 frantic, god-powered dash through waves of enemies, seeking ever-stronger blessings to finally bring down an unyielding foe.

What players say

Players agree the game was fun and had potential but its early access development has stalled for over a year with little communication, leading many to call it abandonware. The combat is praised as a mix of chill and intense, but melee characters feel weak and legendary abilities are too rare. Long-time players are split on whether the small team's upcoming rebuild will save it.
