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 fast-paced, dark pixel art action RPG where you slash through monster hordes, level up, and customize your build on the fly.

What players say

Players are split on Diabolic: some enjoy its retro hack-and-slash simplicity, but many call out repetitive grinding, poor balance, and an overpriced tag for a short 2-3 hour experience. The lack of controller support and clunky UI also frustrate.
