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

An epic but punishing 2D action-RPG that feels relentlessly challenging as you explore a dark, interconnected prehistoric world.

What players say

Players compare Fire in the Beastlands to the first Dark Souls and Salt & Sanctuary for its interconnected world and melancholy atmosphere. Combat is tough but fair, with rewarding exploration and secrets, though some find mandatory secrets frustrating and the art crude. The game remains obscure with very few players online.
