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 straightforward fantasy action RPG where you slash through enemies and explore ancient Greek landscapes while rising from mercenary to legendary hero.

What players say

Players compare it to Assassin's Creed: Odyssey but find it broken in amusing ways: spells replace swords permanently, day cycles are inverted, and movement keys share the same action. Some find it unoptimized and unplayable, while others enjoy the absurdity for free.
