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 tactical, atmospheric CRPG where every decision and environmental interaction carries weight in a harsh, folklore-inspired world.

What players say

Players praise the Finnish folklore setting and tactical turn-based combat, with many comparing it to Divinity Original Sin. However, they split on whether it is worth buying: some love the foundation and character customization, while others report crashes, poor optimization and worry the game will be abandoned.
