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 side-scrolling action game with a dark fantasy atmosphere where you fight monsters alongside LAN friends, blending skill-based combat with a sense of heroic adventure.

What players say

Players find the game playable but note severe balancing issues, especially a first boss with too much health and enemy AI that tracks the player mid-attack. The pixel art and classic side-scrolling action get some praise, but the lack of controller support and repetitive combat drag it down.
