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, melancholic trudge through a beautifully hand-drawn, rain-soaked ruin, where every discovery feels earned and every foe demands deliberate, punishing combat.

What players say

Players praise the game's gorgeous art, melancholic atmosphere, and the soundtrack by Mili, calling them the highlights. However, many criticize the map design as confusing, the combat as floaty or unrewarding, and a heavy reliance on enemy spam and forced fights in later areas. Player opinions split on whether the difficulty is fair or frustrating.
