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 fast-paced action game with cartoonish aesthetics where you play as the god of fear, using fear-based abilities against mythological enemies.

What players say

Players praise Fear Odyssey as a charming Brazilian hack and slash that uses 2D sprites in 3D environments. The story, following the god Phobos after his father kills Poseidon, keeps them engaged. Some warn the color filters can be strong for photosensitive players. As a solo developer's first game, it feels simple and rough in places but shows promise.
