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 fast-paced, tense real-time combat game where you build a deck of spells and fight across surreal planes.

What players say

Players like the art style and the Megaman Battle Network-inspired combat, but the demo is held back by no key rebinding, no mouse support, bugs that cause softlocks, and a confusing tutorial. Reviews split on whether the core gameplay is satisfying or too vague and rigid.
