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 grim, handcrafted open world where your choices shape the environment and you forge your path from nothing against dangerous spirits.

What players say

Players compare it to a 2D Gothic game, praising the world building and exploration. Combat divides opinion: some find it satisfying, others boring or frustrating against human enemies. The endgame is widely reported as extremely hard, with some players unable to finish or disappointed by an abrupt ending.
