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 deliberate, punishing combat-focused third-person action RPG with dark fantasy aesthetics and methodical exploration.

What players say

Players are split on Flintlock. Many praise the movement and ranged gunplay but find the core melee combat unpolished, with inconsistent parry timing and hit registration. The ending is widely criticized as unsatisfying, while performance stuttering and PC control issues are common complaints. A short, budget-friendly souls-lite that some find fun despite its flaws.
