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

An action-adventure RPG that feels like a narrative-driven journey with a dark, folkloric undertone.

What players say

Players praise the unique hand-drawn art style and snappy combat, but note limited enemy variety and a forced pre-stage item selection that can saddle you with bad upgrades. The dodge lacks invincibility frames, making precision movement tricky against boss AoEs.
