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.

You explore a devastated fantasy land as an alchemist, solving puzzles and fighting enemies while uncovering a personal story.

What players say

Players consistently report that the alchemy system is interesting in theory but buried under tedious menus and inventory management. The game is often buggy, with some reviewers losing all progress to a save-wiping glitch. Controls are clunky, especially with mouse and keyboard, and the tutorial does a poor job explaining mechanics. A few players still found the core loop enjoyable.
