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 smooth modern action-RPG wrapped in nostalgic pixel graphics, where you explore a large kingdom with secrets and side quests.

What players say

Players praise its Wonder Boy and Zelda II homage with smooth retro gameplay and a ramping challenge, but many cite missing key rebinding, poor controller support (especially for dpad), and Hard mode being untested. A few report flickering graphics and no save point before bosses.
