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 slow, methodical, and cooperative old-school MMORPG where careful exploration and reliance on other players create a tense but rewarding journey through a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the old-school MMO feel but consistently report a population so low that the game feels dead. There is a split on the armor weight system and inventory limits, with some calling them frustrating and others fine. Several mention the subscription as unnecessary or limiting for basic features like stacking items in storage.
