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 dark first-person action game where you cast unique spells against demons in a linear, atmospheric journey of puzzles and boss fights.

What players say

Players praise the unique spell-casting system that requires drawing symbols, but split on the experience: some find the boss fights a tedious grind with weak hit feedback, others enjoy the challenge. The game is very short, around 20 minutes to an hour, and some report poor optimization despite low settings.
