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 retro arcade-style platformer with pixel graphics and classic sword-and-shield combat against a vengeful witch's horde.

What players say

Players compare it to Rastan Saga and older Castlevania games, with simple combat and a shield block. The game is short, about six stages, but reviewers are split on difficulty: some find it too punishing due to knockback and instant death pits, while others see it as a decent challenge. Feedback on controls varies, with some calling them tight and others stiff.
