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 grim, top-down action RPG where you fight through demonic hordes as a vengeful half-evil soul, with roguelike progression and punishing combat.

What players say

Players say the game has no story and no tutorial, which makes the start punishing. The controls are non-standard and cannot be remapped. Reviewers note content feels thin even for Early Access, with few enemy types and a small roster of heroes. A few praise the hero designs and skill synergies, but most emphasize the rough, unfinished state and lack of direction.
