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 cute crow reaps souls in a dark, beautiful world where exploration is rewarded and combat demands precision.

What players say

Players call it a bite-sized action-adventure that blends Zelda-like exploration with light Souls combat. It is fairly short, around 20 hours for everything, and several say the difficulty is forgiving. A common complaint is the lack of a map and the resulting backtracking for collectibles.
