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 tense, skill-driven combat game where each powerful foe demands precise timing and defensive counterattacks.

What players say

Players say the combat is broken, with unresponsive controls, unusable health and inventory items, and no way to rebind keys or switch weapons. Adding to the frustration, dying to a boss restarts from the opening cutscene. Longtime players report development stalled after two years, leaving the game largely unplayable.
